Adoption Agency Cases
A lawsuit was filed by a Pennsylvania man against a Utah adoption agency. The agency placed his daughter up for adoption against his wishes while he was stationed in Iraq.

Obama Care Update – Blue Cross Decision Denies Coverage To HIV-Positive Patients
An HIV-positive man filed a lawsuit against Blue Cross-Blue Shield, claiming the insurance company’s decision to change its rules regarding patient coverage effectively denies coverage to low-income HIV-positive patients.
The man alleges a rule made by Blue Cross just before Obama Care became effective was intended to turn away low-income patients that have tested positive for HIV. Obama Care now prohibits this type of discrimination. Stay tuned on this one.
