The Obama administration plans to move ahead with major parts of the presidentâs health care law if its most controversial provision doesnât survive a looming Supreme Court decision, Democratic sources tell The Associated Press. Even if the requirement that most individuals have health insurance is declared unconstitutional, the remaining parts of the law could have far-reaching impact. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Health care spending has eased up recently, a welcome respite for government and corporate budgets. "Far and away it is related to economic issues," Stream said. "I see people who have medical conditions who I should be seeing every three months. They tell me they can only afford to come in every six months or once a year." (AP Photo/Nicholas K. Geranios)

Even if the Supreme Court overturns President Barack Obama's health care law, employers can keep offering popular coverage for the young adult children of their workers. But here's the catch: The parents' taxes would go up. That's only one of the messy potential ripple effects when the Supreme Court delivers its verdict on the Affordable Care Act in June 2012. The law affects most major components of the U.S. health care system in its effort to extend coverage to millions of uninsured people. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
