Allred's client's libel suit against Arnold was thrown out by the court. Allred's response to the British settlement:

A separate libel lawsuit also grew out of the 2003 recall. In July 2004, a Los Angeles judge dismissed a suit brought by former stuntwoman Rhonda Miller, who accused the Schwarzenegger campaign of trying to smear her reputation as well.

Gloria Allred, Miller's attorney, said Friday that she was disappointed there was a settlement in the Richardson case. "I hope that one day the governor will be required to appear in court and testify under oath to answer such allegations," she said.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More people signed up for Medicaid last year than at any time since the program's inception, as the recession wiped out jobs and workplace health coverage.
...
Nearly every state - 48 in all - took some action to limit Medicaid spending last year, and most plan more cuts next year. Although they didn't reduce eligibility, Kaiser found that states took steps to restrict the scope of coverage:

• A record 20 states placed restrictions on benefits, and 14 plan new restrictions next year. Arizona, California, Hawaii and Massachusetts eliminated some or all dental coverage. Other states limited medical imaging, therapies, supplies and personal care.

• Thirty-nine states cut or froze payments to hospitals, doctors and other service providers, and most plan another round next year. Medicaid payment rates are already so low that in many states it's hard to find doctors who will accept the coverage.

• Eighteen states placed limits on long-term care services, and 10 plan additional limits next year. AP
  

The bad news, they're adding a $500 dollar deductible to prescription drugs, they're increasing the co-pay from 30% to 50%, and they're increasing my rates another 10% (after they just enacted a 17% increase).  They're also only going to cover MRI's, CAT scans, and other imaging at 50%.

To get the same premium I had before this wonderful new plan goes into effect, I'll have to move to their $7500 deductible plan.  Needless to say, I'll be moving to that plan.

So I can get all the free preventive care I want, but if they find anything that needs less than $7500 worth of care, I'm paying it myself -- all that on top of $5000/yr premiums.  I am seriously considering dropping insurance.  I'll have to get awfully sick to make it worth it.  

Allred says her interest in the struggle for equal rights arose from personal experiences. While she was in college, she married, gave birth to a daughter, and divorced. Unable to collect child support  from her former husband, she was forced to return to her parents' home. She also recalls being paid less than a man for what she considered equal work. The reason given was that the man had a family to support, but at the time, Allred was the single mother of an infant. Perhaps the experience that most galvanized her commitment to equal rights was being raped and then having to undergo an abortion  at a time when the operation could not legally be performed by a doctor. She nearly died after the operation. According to Allred, the experience made her realize the need for safe and legal abortions and precipitated her lifelong commitment to the fight for reproductive freedom.

Allred is perhaps the most flamboyant and well known member of her firm. She has achieved notoriety and name recognition through staged press conferences and demonstrations publicizing and dramatizing the cause she is championing at the time. She also accepts controversial cases that naturally attract media attention. During her years in practice, she has successfully sued Los Angeles County to stop the practice of shackling and chaining pregnant inmates during labor and delivery; put a halt on the city of El Segundo's quizzing job applicants about their sexual histories (Thorne v. City of El Segundo, 802 F.2d 1131 [9th Cir. 1986]); represented a client who was turned down for a job as a police officer after a six-hour lie detector exam that included questions about her sex life; and sued a dry cleaning establishment for discrimination because it charged more to launder women's shirts than men's.
