Sen. Ron Johnson is reviving a proposal to strip federal contributions for lawmakers’ health insurance on the exchanges set up by the 2010 health care law.

The Republican from Wisconsin filed the amendment to the pending health care reconciliation measure on Tuesday, and speaking Wednesday on a Milwaukee-based radio show, Johnson sounded intent on getting a vote as part of the process of unlimited amendments known as the vote-a-rama.

“My amendment making Congress — basically puts them in the same position as other Americans — that’ll be a pretty tough vote for members of Congress to cast ‘no’ on,” Johnson said on the Jay Weber Show on WISN.

Johnson’s version is more narrow than some of the similar offerings that became known as the Vitter amendment from former Louisiana GOP Sen. David Vitter. Johnson would only eliminate the health insurance exchange benefits for actual senators and members of the House, not the congressional aides who also get their insurance through the District of Columbia’s small business exchange.

The amendment appears likely to need 60 votes to advance through the Senate under the expedited process, because it could be subject to a budget point of order related to committee jurisdiction over laws affecting Washington, D.C.
