A historic day today as the U.S. Supreme Court upholds President Barack Obama’s healthcare bill. The 5-4 ruling allows the government to continue implementing the healthcare plan, which will take full effect in 2014. Under it everyone must either have healthcare or pay a penalty. Medical insurancers are now also barred from denying coverage for pre-exiting conditions. Parents are also allowed to keep their children on family policies until the age of 26.

in your forecast: Clear and down to 71 tonight. We’ll be in the lower 90s tomorrow and through your weekend.
