WASHINGTON — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), along with 29 of his Senate colleagues, introduced a bill Monday that will prevent Americans from being victimized again by Obamacare if the Supreme Court follows the law and rules against the Obama administration this summer in King v. Burwell.
Senator Johnson’s bill is named “Preserving Freedom and Choice in Health Care” and it would do just that. Millions of Americans lost their health care because of Obamacare’s mandates. Those individuals, together with millions more, would suffer again if the court rules that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act prevents subsidies from being paid through federal exchanges. Such a ruling is consistent with the law, but it would leave those Americans unable to pay for expensive Obamacare coverage that is affordable only when it is subsidized by hardworking taxpayers.
“This bill is a first step toward reversing the damage that Obamacare has inflicted on the American health care system,” said Senator Johnson. “It begins to replace Obamacare’s expensive mess with patient-focused, market-based reforms.”

Hard not to confuse this with an Onion article.

that if we had a U.S. Supreme court that was truly progressive, this laws suit would be dead on arrival.
In a new book by Ian Millhiser, he pretty much hits the nail on the head on what the U.S. Supreme court has done to this country and it really is not pretty.
But with a right wing majority that has been on the court for over 150 years not counting the Burger court and in some key rulings during FDR presidency, we citizens have not been getting our money worth from this court for a long, long time, and what we are due, from voting, wages, safety, healthcare, child labor, ect......
All you have to do is look at Citizens United and the unfettered influence by both foreign and domestic money corrupting this system of governance to the highest PAC.
Just imagine if there are three to four openings for this court and there is a republican president, how many other law clerks like Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy are in the back ground working for these individuals------that is scary
I went to a witch doctor down the street, had to give up goats blood and snake bile for a sanitized MD office, disgusting!
