  • ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser will discuss how the ruling will affect American families and their access to medical care.
  • "World News" weekend anchor David Muir will be in Los Angeles to get real-time reaction from families, doctors and business owners affected by the ruling.

The ABC team will provide in-depth reporting about what the decision means for the modern American family throughout the day:

George Stephanopoulos will also host a special edition of " George's Bottom Line" for the Power Players series on Yahoo! News. In addition ABCNews.com will produce a series of videos from Dr. Besser, Terry Moran, and Jake Tapper with analysis on the medical, legal, and political fallout from the Court's decision.
  • Coverage will continue on the ABC Television Network Thursday evening with special editions of " World News with Diane Sawyer" at 6:30 pm/ET and " Nightline," America's #1 show in late-night, at 11:35 pm/ET.

ABC News Radio Correspondent Aaron Katersky will anchor coverage with ABC News Radio Correspondent Vic Ratner reporting from the Supreme Court and ABC News Radio Correspondent Ann Compton from the White House as well as ABC News Radio Correspondent Steven Portnoy reporting from Washington.
  • ABC NewsOne, the network's affiliate news service, we will have correspondents Tahman Bradley and Karen Travers reporting live from the Supreme Court all day Thursday.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll, released Wednesday, June 27, shows that while Americans are dissatisfied with the law intended to improve the health care system, they are equally unhappy with the status quo - suggesting that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on that law will by no means end the country's sharp political debate over health care policy as families still search for solutions.
