12/28/2007: Overview: San Francisco Health Law Falls to ERISA Preemption (Workplace Prof Blog)
Excerpt: "It still boggles the mind that the court comes to these conclusions, while still recognizing that, '[t]he Supreme Court has also emphasized more generally that the 'principal object of the statute [ERISA] is to protect plan participants and beneficiaries,'' Boggs v. Boggs, 520 U.S. 833, 845 (1997), not to ensure national uniformity or lower costs for employers to run such plans."
