JUDGE SIGNS OFF ON $267 MILLION JUDGMENT AGAINST COLLECTOR IN TCPA CASE

IDAHO PLAINTIFF’S ATTORNEY GIVES UP LAW LICENSE FOLLOWING STATE BAR INVESTIGATION

MORE INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE LIKELY MEANS MORE WORK FOR COLLECTION AGENCIES
- Fewer people had health insurance coverage in 2018 than did in 2017, according to data released yesterday by the Census Bureau, likely because more people are working and are no longer qualifying for Medicaid coverage. The data for 2019 is also looking like more individuals are going without health insurance. The increase from 2017 to 2018 is the first time the uninsured rate has gone up since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, which became law in 2010.
WORTH NOTING: Eighteen years later, and it still feels like yesterday … How 9/11 is being taught in schools today … For people who want to volunteer to commemorate 9/11 … How we communicated on 9/11. For me, AOL Instant Messenger is how I let friends and family know I was ok and how my wife and I figured out how we were getting home from midtown Manhattan … How to never be late again … Everything Apple announced yesterday … A high school swimmer was disqualified for showing too much skin … How to help managers spot employees who are burning out … Americans’ credit scores keep getting better … Jay Leno’s advice about buying used cars.
