Republican Senatorial Committee on Friday will take their first swipe at Democrats in the wake of an Obama administration decision to let federal lawmakers and their staffs keep the government subsidy that offsets much of their insurance premiums costs — even though they will enter state-based health exchanges under “Obamacare.”

The ad campaign and a website, WrongTeamBraley.com, depict the congressman as a key supporter of Mr. Obama’s health care law.
