Rick Santorum Really Hates the Affordable Care Act
It is no secret that there are many Republicans who dislike some parts of the Affordable Care Act. Typically, they point to controversial parts of the ACA, such as the individual mandate, when they talk about how they would like to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Rick Santorum has taken things one step farther. He really hates the entire ACA, (even the parts that many people like).
The Affordable Care Act includes something called an individual mandate. This law would require all Americans who don’t have already have health insurance in 2014 to purchase a health insurance plan.

Netflix faces class action lawsuit from investors
Just a week or so after it launched in the UK and Ireland, the online content streaming service Netflix is reportedly facing a new class action lawsuit from a number of its investors.
A report in the Guardian claims that Netflix’s investors are suing because they believe the management of the company to have misled shareholders as to the health of the business, whilst at the same time cashing in $90 million of stock whilst the price was at a record high.
In the lawsuit, which was filed recently in the US state of California, it is alleged:

The best way to pay for car insurance
When it comes paying for their car insurance, many drivers won’t have a choice but to split their annual quoted premium into 12 separate monthly payments – even though they will be charged a premium for doing so. This is especially the case in the aftermath of a costly Christmas when finding a hefty lump sum can often prove impossible.
However, many drivers will be unaware that there is a significant disparity between the premiums insurers charge for paying your insurance on a monthly, rather than an annual, basis. But this is where you can start to take back control.

Judge Writes Decision on Insurance Fraud Case in Rhyme
A Pennsylvania Supreme Court judge has decided to phrase his opinion of an insurance fraud case in rhyme, instead of in the usual way. This particular judge has become somewhat famous for writing his opinions in the form of poetry. Perhaps he should have been a writer, instead of a judge.
A man in Pennsylvania attempted to deposit was turned out to be a forged check. The forged check appeared to have been written by the State Farm insurance company, when in reality, the insurer never wrote out any such check.
It is my understanding that this particular court case was supposed to determine two things.
Outdoor media company Clear Channel sued over electronic billboard idea
The global outdoor media company Clear Channel is reportedly being sued by a man from New York who claims it stole the idea for an interactive electronic billboard from him.
Jet Thomason is claiming that he had discussed his idea of an interactive electronic billboard, in which tourists post 15 second messages, with Clear Channel. He had set up his own company, called ’15 seconds of fame’ in order to realise his idea, and took it the outdoor media specialists in July 2009 in order to make it a reality.
