Interaction of Health Care Reform With Other Laws

Lorman Education Services

For 15 years, the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has survived repeated attacks seeking its invalidation or repeal. Simultaneously, federal Marketplace plans have enjoyed substantial increases in enrollment by non-Medicare-eligible persons and persons without access to minimum value and affordable employer-provided health care plans providing minimum essential benefits.

With each turnover in presidential administrations in the last decade, however, the legal landscape has dramatically shifted at the federal and state levels for ACA-covered large and small employers alike. This topic will provide a brief overview of pertinent ACA health care reform provisions and their interaction with pertinent federal law, other potential regional or individual health care plan designs, and potential state or local health care benefit laws arguably saved from federal preemption.
