Not surprising news via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Madison — A federal judge in Green Bay on Monday threw out a lawsuit brought by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and one of his aides attempting to force members of Congress and their staffs to stop getting subsidies for their health insurance under Obamacare.
Johnson, an Oshkosh Republican, argued that members of Congress and their staffs were required to get insurance on their own under Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act. But U.S. District Judge William Griesbach ruled Monday that Johnson and his aide, Brooke Ericson, didn’t have legal standing to bring their case.
The two sued in federal court challenging a policy of President Barack Obama’s administration that allows members of Congress and their staffs to receive health coverage as they have for decades or to buy it through a federal insurance marketplace available to small businesses in the Washington, D.C., area.
Now, if only someone would “throw out” Ron Johnson from Congress, our country, particularly Wisconsin, would be a better place.
Welcome back, Ed!
I am not quite back…just taking a breather from moving.
I second that, D12! The guy is such a rotten potato, I can’t see how he gets elected in the first place.
