Anomalies In The Affordable Care Act That Arise From Reading The Phrase “Exchange Established By The State” Out Of Context, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, James Engstrand Sep 2015

Anomalies In The Affordable Care Act That Arise From Reading The Phrase “Exchange Established By The State” Out Of Context, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, James Engstrand

Timothy S. Jost

The Supreme Court is currently considering in King v. Burwell whether residents of all States can receive premium tax credits under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Plaintiffs-Petitioners brought this litigation as a challenge to the validity of a Treasury Department rule allowing all ACA health insurance Exchanges or marketplaces, including federally facilitated Exchanges (FFEs), to support and grant the credits. They invite the Court to focus solely on four words in two subsections of Section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code that they interpret as limiting tax credits to individuals who can use a State-operated Exchange …

Self-Insurance For Small Employers Under The Affordable Care Act: Federal And State Regulatory Options, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost, Mark A. Hall

As implementation of the Affordable Care Act reshapes the US health insurance market, state and federal policy makers should be prepared to revisit regulation of stop-loss coverage — a form of reinsurance — for small businesses.

State or federal lawmakers can influence small businesses to participate in the regulated market by …

Corporate Law After Hobby Lobby, Lyman P. Q. Johnson, David K. Millon Jan 2015

Corporate Law After Hobby Lobby, Lyman P. Q. Johnson, David K. Millon

Lyman P. Q. Johnson

We evaluate the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial decision in the Hobby Lobby case from the perspective of state corporate law. We argue that the Court is correct in holding that corporate law does not mandate that business corporations limit themselves to pursuit of profit. Rather, state law allows incorporation for any lawful purpose. We elaborate on this important point and also explain what it means for a corporation to “exercise religion.” In addition, we address the larger implications of the Court’s analysis for an accurate understanding both of state law’s essentially agnostic stance on the question of corporate purpose and …
