10/9/2008: Outline of Ninth Circuit's Decision Allowing San Francisco 'Pay-or-Play' Healthcare Law (PDF) (Proskauer Rose LLP)
3 pages. Excerpt: "As states and municipalities increasingly look for creative solutions to the increasing cost of health care for the under- and un-insured, 'pay or play' mandates continue to grow in popularity. The resulting impact on employers is substantial. Employers that operate in multiple states find themselves subject to conflicting state and city statutes that require them to pay varying amounts for employee benefits and/or penalties to the state or city government. Similarly, plan administrators are subjected to different state reporting requirements, creating confusion within the plan's recordkeeping procedures."
