U.S. Senator Ron Johnson’s lawsuit challenging an Obamacare provision subsidizing health insurance for members of Congress and their aides should be thrown out because the lawmaker can’t show the measure has hurt him or his staff, government lawyers told a federal judge.
Johnson, a first-term Republican from Wisconsin, sued President Barack Obama’s administration this year, arguing that the subsidy treats the legislators and their employees differently than most Americans who work for private employers, violating U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.
