Wisconsin senator seeks to revive health care lawsuit

CHICAGO - Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson is out to convince an appellate court to revive his lawsuit challenging part of the federal health care overhaul.

Johnson sued last year over a requirement that congressional members and their employees seek government-subsidized health insurance through small-business exchanges. A federal judge tossed it out, saying Johnson didn't have legal standing to bring it.

Oral arguments in Johnson's appeal are set for Wednesday before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago.
