Political Factoid

unpaid leave from Goldman Sachs
for the duration of her husband's
presidential campaign (losing
their health care coverage).
- Senator Cruz bought an individual
preferred provider policy from

notified its customers that it would
discontinue its PPO policies at the
end of the year, but would continue

President Obama and "Obamacare"
for his sudden lack of health care coverage.
