(WASHINGTON)€— A federal judge has ruled that the Obama administration is unconstitutionally spending federal money to fund the president's health care law.

The ruling Thursday from U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer is a win for House Republicans who brought the politically charged legal challenge.

At stake is $175 billion the government is paying to reimburse health insurers over a decade to reduce co-payments for lower-income people.
