California v. Department of Health and Human Services, No. 20-00682, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 127490 (N.D. Cal. July 20, 2020), appeal filed (9th Cir. No. 20-16802)

July 20, 2020: A federal district court held that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' rule requiring health-insurance issuers to collect separate payments from policy holders for abortion and non-abortion services by requiring enrollees to receive two separate bills, and to make two separate payments, was arbitrary and capricious for failure to provide a reasoned explanation, and therefore in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.
