How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding irreparable harm in patients being forced to forego medical treatment because of deductible and copayments, and in the financial planning burden resulting from the uncertainty of future medical costs
- \[D]efendants claim that the current Teledyne Plus Plan offers coverage which is `substantial and in many respects better than the prior plan. . . .' This argument is of no consequence. It is not this Court's task to decide which health plan is `better.' \
- “I am unconvinced that this harm [increased monthly costs] outweighs that of a retiree forced to go without medical care, or forced to choose between the basic necessities of life in order to pay his or her medical deductibles and co-pays or life insurance.”
