"One of the most significant results of states gaining an ERISA exemption is that it would make it difficult for workers to sue states in federal court if they mishandled these funds.

Excerpt: 'It's cause for concern but not for alarm.' That's how John Keane, executive director and administrator of the Police and Fire Pension Fund (PFPF), describes the current underfunding of the pension plan for Jacksonville's public safety employees who are currently enrolled in the fund. As of Sept. 30, 2007 the PFPF was underfunded (liabilities exceeded assets) by $534 million. According to figures provided by the Council Auditor's Office, that means the PFPF is underfunded by 36.5 percent.

"HIPAA -- which most people think of as a law about medical records -- in fact had rules about exclusions for pre-existing conditions.... [T]he problem is that it's complicated to find, and expensive to buy, not that you are uninsurable.... [I]nsurance being expensive -- it is, even at group rates -- is a very different problem from people being uninsurable. They imply very different solutions."
