Redefining Medical Care, Lauren R. Roth

President Donald J. Trump has said he will replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with health savings accounts (HSAs). Conservatives have long preferred individual accounts to meet social welfare needs instead of more traditional entitlement programs. The types of “medical care” that can be reimbursed through an HSA are listed in § 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) and include expenses “for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body.”
In spite of the broad language, regulations and court interpretations have narrowed this definition substantially. …
Murder For Life Insurance Money: Protecting The Children, Johnny C. Chriscoe
Murder For Life Insurance Money: Protecting The Children, Johnny C. Chriscoe
Scholarly Works
Children are being murdered for life insurance proceeds.
Of course, if a beneficiary murders a child for the recovery of life insurance money and if he is apprehended, he will surely face numerous legal consequences. He will not recover the insurance money, he will be prosecuted and likely sentenced to life imprisonment or execution, he may be sued for the wrongful death of the child and he may be prosecuted for insurance fraud. However, all of these legal responses are triggered by the death of the child and, therefore, do not serve to protect the child from being murdered in …

Arbitration between insurers and reinsurers – those who insure insurance companies – should logically run as smoothly as any arbitration process. Like the traditional commercial arbitration that drove enactment of the Federal Arbitration Act, reinsurance arbitration involves experienced actors in a confined industry in which the parties should be constructively aware of the rules, norms, customs and practices of the industry. But in spite of this, reinsurance arbitration experiences consistent problems of which the participants complain. This article reviews the complaints and exams possible solutions – including the possibility of arbitrating less and litigating more. Although these possible solutions would …
An Analytic "Gap": The Perils Of Relentless Enforcement Of Payment-By-Underlying-Insurer-Only Language In Excess Insurance Policies, Jeffrey W. Stempel
An Analytic "Gap": The Perils Of Relentless Enforcement Of Payment-By-Underlying-Insurer-Only Language In Excess Insurance Policies, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Excess liability insurance, as the phrase implies, sits atop primary insurance or a lower layer of excess insurance and is required to cover only claims that are above the policy's "underlying limit" and reach the "attachment point" of the excess policy in question. Historically, the law was largely indifferent to whether the underlying limit was exhausted by full payment from the underlying insurer or by other means such as payment by the policyholder due to an underlying insurer's insolvency or because the policyholder and underlying insurer had compromised a coverage dispute for less than 100 percent coverage by the underlying …
