Clash of the Titans: State All-Payer Claims Reporting Systems Meet ERISA Preemption.

Abstract

During its term that begins in October 2015, the United States Supreme Court will hear Gobeille v Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, a case that will test whether self-insuring employers can refuse to comply with state all-payer claims reporting laws. Without a uniform, nationwide strategy to comprehensively address health care costs and quality—notably absent from the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—the stakes could not be greater for states that seek to take action.
