Hobby Lobby gets a temporary exemption from a PPACA requirement to offer insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and similar emergency birth-control methods.
A federal judge Monday rejected Hobby Lobby Stores Inc.'s request to block part of the federal health care overhaul that requires the arts and craft supply company to provide insurance coverage for the morning-after and week-after birth control pills.
An arts and craft supply company owned by a Christian family asked a judge Thursday to block a portion of the new federal health care law, claiming that mandated coverage for certain birth control violates its religious freedom rights.
Democrats in the Oklahoma Senate plan to file legislation this week that would require health insurers in the state to offer child-only insurance policies that covers anyone under age 18 including newborns not covered by family plans or Medicaid, two of the party's top senators said Thursday.
Hundreds of labor union members and their supporters rallied outside the Oklahoma Capitol on Monday, urging lawmakers to defeat legislation that they claim is anti-union and would weaken bargaining and employment rights for public employees.
Gov. Mary Fallin defended efforts to create an insurance exchange for uninsured Oklahomans on Monday, explaining if the state does not have an exchange in place by 2013 the federal government will step in and create its own.
