why a lot of them say it's the key to a happy marriage. "nightly news" begins right now. from nbc news headquarters in new york, this is n"nbc nightly news" with lester hold. claiming victory, president obama declared the signature health care program widely known as obamacare is here to stay. just hours after the u.s. supreme court upheld a key provision of the affordable care act, the president seen here celebrating the decision with the chief of staff took to a rose garden podium to declare obamacare has survived. >> after nearly a century of talk decades of trying a year of bipartisan debate we finally declared that in america, health care is not a privilege for a few but a right for all. >> the case centered on what is essentially the under pinning of the entire law. the government

subsidies make it cheaper for people to buy health insurance. the decision directly affects over 6 million americans and we'll walk you through the ruling who it affects the and political reaction and lots of that. we'll start with our justice correspondent pete williams. good evening. >> this is the second time the u.s. supreme court bailed out obamacare. this time even more decisively than it did three years ago and once again, the decision is written by the court's conservative chief justice john roberts. >> outside the court, big cheers for the ruling. victory for the affordable care act, aca. the issue, who is entitled to federal subsidies that make health insurance cheaper. opponents said the subsidies are not for everyone only people that bought insurance in one of 16 states that set up their own marketplaces. millions of other americans that bought insurance on the federal marketplace,

healthcare healthcare.gov couldn't get the subsidies. john roberts joined by another conservative anthony kennedy and the court's four liberals. the court says the three parts of the law are inner locking. insurance companies cannot deny coverage for preexisting conditions and everybody must get coverage and take away the subsidies the court said and the subpoena collapse collapse. >> today's decision has monumental significance. it means the affordable care act is not just the law of the land it will remain the law of the land. >> but in a blistering descent for himself and justices ali the to and thomas he says the decision shows the court favors some laws over the others noting the court saved obamacare twice this time and three years ago, scalia said we

should start calling the low scotus care. he didn't mention the abashed attack the on his rule sglgingruling. >> statutory interation. >> there is nothing to suggest obamacare is on thin ice or the court is eager to hear more challenges. no big ones are pending anyway. >> the supreme court said it's constitutional law and told us what it means and that the administration has interpreted it correctly. there is nothing left to fight about on a big scale. >> today's ruling leaves the health care law in tact so the subsidies remain in effect for the roughly 6 approximately americans that depend on them to be able to afford health insurance, lester. >> pete you mentioned three years ago the supreme court had a crack in the obamacare. what's the difference between the cases? >> the decision last time was very splintered justices going off in different directions. this time you don't see any of that and the majority seems to accept the premise of obamacare and one

other thing, last time anthony kennedy was one of those vigorous descenders this time he was in the majority lester. >> pete thanks. across the country, over 10 million people have now signed up for health insurance under the obamacare law. the number of americans without insurance creeps lower. it's a result a lot of people didn't expect after that rocky rollout. the obamacare law now directly effecting so many families who say it's been quite literally a lifesaver. chris jansing reports. >> reporter: after tom tart had open heart surgery in north carolina he couldn't work and lost his insurance. with no pension and living off savings, the tart's health insurance was $1600 a month. >> it's scary because you don't know how long you're going to live and how much money you're going to need. >> reporter: with obamacare care subsidies the costs are cut in half and today 's ruling means they don't have to worry about coverage.

the rate of unsured americans is under 13% a year with the largest plunge among blacks and latin americans. joe got a rare and aggressive tumor in his jaw. >> we were at a short window of time. we didn't have insurance. >> and that's when he got diagnosed? >> that's when he got diagnosed. >> reporter: the surgery took 12 hours. joe was hospitalized for 15 days includeing four in intensive care. the bill $195,000 and got coverage with a preexisting condition under obamacare. the decision was greeted with relief by doctors and patients. >> they don't have to make physical trade offs for example, paying the rent or paying for gas and weighing that against health insurance. >> reporter: joe jackson is recovering well while there is a chance the tumor could come back, he's covered. what does it mean to know? >> we have insurance? you don't have to worry about it. >> reporter: linda

tart still checks her husband when he's sleeping. >> i make sure he's breathing. i watch him until i see his chest rise and fall. >> reporter: she's no longer scared if they will have insurance when they need it. of course not everyone is happy about the ruling. some people are seen their rates go up others have been forced into better coverage that does cost more and for those who choose not to be insured, many will pay a fine. white house officials believe like social security and medicare before this the longer obamacare is part of people's lives, the more they will like it. lester? >> chris jansing thanks. as you might imagine, reaction was swift and fox et for republicans. chuck todd joins us now. chuck, what themes are you hearing we'll be hearing on the trail? >> look you hear the political debate firing up among republican candidates for this reason.

opposeing obamacare is a rallying cry for the republican party for five years and no different today. you saw republican presidential candidates from jeb bush to marco rubio and in particular ted cruz pledging to say that if elected, that this presidential election is now about the last chance you have to stop obamacare or to repeal obamacare. but what is interesting here lester is republicans quietly are actually relieved with this ruling. why? they didn't want to have to deal with the policy fallout of figuring out, how do you do a makeshift repair to the law before a new president is elected and have this? politically, they are happy to have the issue to rally the base and relieved the ruling went the way it did because they don't have to act in congress. >> chucked to todd thanks. the dangerous inmates on the run, a second prison worker has been charged for trading favors with these most-wanted killers.

stephanie gosk continues to work this story for us. >> reporter: gene palmer a prison officer for 28 years pled not guilty facing multiple criminal charges in connection with the prison break. the 57-year-old worked on the honor block with the two escape peas for years. he told state police and the fbi matt gave him paintings and information about inmates in exchange for favors. palmer allegedly burned and buried the paintings when he discovered the inmates had escaped. he wasn't at home today. his friends and family are in shock. >> what was his reaction to being arrested? >> surprised. >> reporter: acourting to court documents, the favors began two years ago. smuggling in paint and paint brushes for matt acrylics for sweat. he allowed sweat access to the cat walk behind the block to alter the wiring so he could cook in his cell. in the last eight months, on four occasions he gave sweat needle nose

players and a flat head screwdriver matt and sweat would use the cat walk as part of the escape route. on may 29th joyce mitchell left him a package in the taylor shop freezer and directed him to give it to matt. a green colored woven cloth bag with one pound of frozen beef and more paint. the next day, palmer gave matt that package through his cell bars. the d.a. said mitchell told him she hid tools in the meat. hacksaw blades and a drill bit. what was going on in the honor block. >> complacency sat in rules that were supposed to be enforced were ignored. >> reporter: jeff spent 22 years working in the prison radios are playing. they can cook shower i mean it's just kind of like a block party. free for all. >> reporter: you know with two arrests in this case there are many unanswered questions including how did matt and sweat

get those power tools, and tonight we're learning two summer carp camps for kids have delayed openings for safety concerns while this intense manhunt continues. >> thank you. tomorrow president obama travels to charleston south carolina where he will deliver a eulogy for the reverend and state senator who was one of nine people killed in the mass shooting last week. that service will carry on the moving tributes to the victims that began with funeral services today. our ron allen who is leading our coverage has more. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: the going home celebration for ethel lee lance, age 70 manuel's caretaker, her children grand children said taking care of the family. >> grandma, whatever i do from here on out will be because of you watching over me and holding my hand saying baby girl you got it. >> reporter: they want her legacy to be a life of love not her

because of the huge crowd. reverend clementa pickney pickney's body arrived and there are hundreds of hundreds of people hoping for a chance to walk up the stairs to bid him farewell lester? >> thanks very much. we'll see you tomorrow when nbc news has special coverage of the president's eulogy. nightly news will be live from charleston with coverage from the day's events. fire season is off to a big start in california but rapid response tealms are jumping on them harder. crews got a handle on a fast-moving brush fire outside of los angeles angeles. it did scorch 200 acres and forced the evacuation of about 1,000 people but that order is now lifted and there is minimal damage reported after firefighters managed to quickly douse the flames. we've got a lot more ahead tonight, it's being called sleep divorce, couples going to bed in separate rooms. it's a growing trend. twice as popular as it used to be. why some say it's the key to a happy
