Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says a U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding the federal health care overhaul means Republicans in Congress must “redouble their efforts to repeal and replace” the law. Walker issued a statement Thursday through the committee he set up to explore a presidential bid. Walker is a longtime opponent of the law and has frequently called for it to be repealed. Walker says the law has been a failure and “we need real leadership in Washington, and Congress needs to repeal and replace” it. Democrats and advocates for the poor are praising the court’s ruling, as it means 183,000 Wisconsin residents who purchase insurance through the federal marketplace won’t lose subsidies. The average subsidy is about $315 a month.
