LA sheriff’s office under scrutiny after deputy punches mother holding baby

Karen Bass, the mayor of LA, said the video was "enraging and disturbing" in a statement on Wednesday night, adding: "The idea that you would assault a mother with a child in her arms and then subject that child to the child welfare system just because the child didn't have a car seat is an abuse of power.

New Parents Hit With Huge Surprise Medical Bill Because Of The 'Birthday Rule' : Shots - Health News : NPR

The parents might be forgiven for thinking they have some say in how their child will be insured. 

In most cases, they don't. Instead, a child with double health insurance eligibility must take as primary coverage the plan of the parent whose birthday comes first in the calendar year; the other parent's insurance is considered secondary. This model regulation was set by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and adopted by most states, including Kansas, says Lee Modesitt, director of government affairs with the Kansas Insurance Department...
