The US Supreme Court has rejected a Republican bid backed by former President Donald Trump's administration to invalidate Obamacare, preserving the healthcare law for the third time since its 2010 enactment.

With three major challenges to Obamacare now having been resolved by the justices, Mr Biden added,"it is time to move forward and keeping building on this landmark law". Mr Biden also encouraged more Americans to use Obamacare to obtain coverage.

The law was the signature domestic policy achievement of Democratic former President Barack Obama, who Mr Biden served with as vice president. Twenty states including Democratic-governed California and New York and the Democratic-led House of Representatives intervened in the case to try to preserve Obamacare after Mr Trump had refused to defend the law.US President Joe Biden cranks out executive orders to rapidly dismantle Donald Trump's legacy
