VA Judge Rules Insurance Mandate Unconstitutional

Also known as the “individual mandate,” the judge ruled that the federal [...]
SEIU Affiliate to Cut Insurance for Children
Did I read that right? Yep. Can you believe it? The Service Employees International Union is dropping healthcare for children for its dues-paying members of affiliate 1199 in New York.
