WisPolitics: Johnson, Kohl split on health care repeal motion
Wisconsin's U.S. senators split on today's effort by Republicans to repeal federal health care reform.
U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Milwaukee, voted against the motion, while U.S. Rep. Ron Johnson, R-Oshkosh, voted in favor. The motion was turned away by a 51-47 party line vote.
"I'm glad that we had the opportunity to vote on this legislation, to be on record as to which Senators support the implementation of Obamacare and which senators want to repeal the law and replace it with common sense market-based reforms that work," Johnson said in a statement.
