Direct Primary Care Legislation Continues Its Roll Across the Country
"Direct primary care (DPC) is a style of clinical practice in which a healthcare provider ... offers primary care services to patients who pay a monthly membership fee for the provision of primary care services at no additional charge to the patient/member.... Florida Governor Rick Scott signed the 'Direct Primary Care Agreements' bill (HB 37) to amend the Florida Insurance Code and, in turn, made it clear that DPC agreements between physicians and patients do not constitute the making of insurance and therefore do not have to comply with the terms of the Florida Insurance Code."

Previous Inaction on Performance Issues, Positive Reviews, Cast Doubt on Motivation for Post-FMLA Firing
"Though an employer argued that certain events during an employee's FMLA leave were the 'final' straw that led to her being terminated following her return from a six-week FMLA leave, triable issues prevented a federal court in Wisconsin from granting its motion for summary judgment on her claims of FMLA interference and retaliation. The employer would have to explain to a jury why, after years of inaction and solid reviews, it suddenly chose to act on alleged, longstanding concerns about her performance only a few days after she returned from leave." [ Degner v. Juneau County Dept. of Human Services , No. 16-674 (W.D. Wis. Mar. 5, 2018)]
