Retailers Dismayed by Supreme Court Decision on Healthcare Law

The National Retail Federation (NRF) released the following statement from its President and CEO Matthew Shay on the Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act: "As the voice of retailers of all types and sizes, we're disappointed by today's ruling. The Court missed an opportunity to redress the many shortcomings of the law. As it stands, the law wrongly focuses more on penalizing employers and the private sector than reducing health costs. For these reasons, NRF has been a consistent skeptic of the Affordable Care Act."
