Abstract/OtherAbstract:
As states experiment with legislation designed to address problems of healthcare affordability and accessibility by requiring employers to offer or spend more on employee health benefit plans, courts increasingly will be called upon to determine whether such mandates run afoul of ERISA. This article examines the potential impact of existing case law on current legislative initiatives.
