Federal court OKs Josh Kaul's request to withdraw Wisconsin from one of two Obamacare lawsuits
Source: Madison.com
A federal court has approved Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul's request to withdraw Wisconsin from one of two lawsuits against the Affordable Care Act.
The news marks the first time Kaul has removed the state from litigation after Republican lawmakers attempted to limit his and Gov. Tony Evers' power to do so during a lame-duck session in December.
The U.S. District Court in Northern Texas granted Kaul's request to remove Wisconsin from a group of states bringing the challenge against the Affordable Care Act, which is also known as Obamacare, Kaul's office announced Tuesday.
