Governor Tony Evers and Attorney General Josh Kaul are celebrating Wisconsin’s dismissal from a Republican lawsuit seeking to overturn the Affordable Care Act. The U-S Court of Appeals for the Fifth District granted the state’s motion today (Tuesday) to withdraw from Texas vs. United States. Evers said in a statement, “People in Wisconsin believe in the protections guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act. That’s why I promised to stop spending Wisconsin taxpayer dollars on a lawsuit that would kick thousands of Wisconsinites off their healthcare and put the 2.4 million Wisconsinites who have a pre-existing condition at risk.” The U-S Court in the Northern District of Texas previously granted Wisconsin’s dismissal from the lower court’s case April 2nd.
