Also in Obamacare-related news, August 1st is the day after which new (or re-enrolled) insurance plans should cover women's preventive healthcare services without copay, and hopefully most birth-control. (Jezebel link because searching the Health and Human Services website for birth control leads to a flurry of pdf links, probably for misguided political reasons.)

Is "Poop Strong" close enough to "Live Strong" to be actionable?

Maybe "Poop Strong" is protected as parody except that it doesn't seem very funny since the guy has a mostly terminal cancer.

Banning lifetime benefit limits only serves to discourage entrepreneurship among the cancer-having class.

11: Yes - as I understand it, lifetime limits apply to them as to any others, but they do get a phase-in of annual limit regulations compared to others.
