The Social Costs Of Choice, Free Market Ideology And The Empirical Consequences Of The 401(K) Plan Large Menu Defense, Mercer Bullard
The Social Costs Of Choice, Free Market Ideology And The Empirical Consequences Of The 401(K) Plan Large Menu Defense, Mercer Bullard
Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
This article explores the recent “hidden-fee” litigation trend that has consumed the 401(k) world and how recent decisions by these courts will likely result in reduced wealth for workers. The author challenges the “large menu defense” espoused by the Third, Seventh and Eight Circuit Courts of Appeals as not fitting within the intent of ERISA’s “safe harbor.” In addition, the author questions the logic of these decisions by suggesting that courts are evaluating the employers’ legal responsibilities using free-market ideology rather than the fiduciary duties prescribed by ERISA and questions the belief that “large menu” pension benefit plans are wealth-maximizing.
The Surprising Equality Of Retirement Time: Evidence From The Health And Retirement Survey, Anthony Bonen, Teresa Ghilarducci
The Surprising Equality Of Retirement Time: Evidence From The Health And Retirement Survey, Anthony Bonen, Teresa Ghilarducci
Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
This article discusses the impact changes to the retirement age may have on the distribution of retirement time. The author investigates the length of time men and women are alive between the date of their retirement and their death, finding that the most critical factor in determining length of retirement time is and individual’s socio-economic status. As a result, the author opines that because individuals in lower economic classes tend to die earlier, increasing the retirement age will impact these individuals disproportionally and increase retirement time inequality.

Rethinking Erisa’S Promise Of Income Security In A World Of 401(K) Plans, Lawrence A. Frolik
Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
This article discusses the evolution of retirement income funds from defined benefit packages to 401(k) and IRA accounts and how the changing dynamic has reshaped the way retirees think about post-retirement income. The article outlines the mechanics of 401(k) accounts and rollover IRAs in the post-retirement period and presents questions about the ability of retirees to successfully address the complex issues relating to investment choices including, what entity they entrust their savings to, the volume and source of distributions, and long-term sufficiency planning. The article suggests that an increase in the use of annuities may help to resolve some of …
Overlooked And Underused: Clinical Practice Guidelines And Malpractice Liability For Independent Physicians, Ronen Avraham
Overlooked And Underused: Clinical Practice Guidelines And Malpractice Liability For Independent Physicians, Ronen Avraham
Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
This paper discusses how the use of Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) can improve the quality and delivery of healthcare in America. The author states that with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 the American healthcare system is in need of re-alignment, specifically challenging the established norms for promulgating CPGs. The article explores the legal evolution of CPGs and new legal avenues for their promulgation by examining their history and purpose. The author concludes by identifying three accountability models and arguing in favor of a private competitive regime for CPGs.
California Dreaming: The California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act, Edward A. Zelinsky
California Dreaming: The California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act, Edward A. Zelinsky
Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
Half of American workers are not covered by employer-sponsored retirement arrangements. The recently passed California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act seeks to solve this problem by mandating retirement savings arrangements for California employers, coupled with a public investment vehicle for investing these private retirement savings. The Act is important because of California’s size and status as a trendsetter for other states.
This Article is the first to examine the important legal questions the Act raises under the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA. Contrary to the drafters’ intent, the savings accounts authorized under the Act do not qualify as individual …

Connecticut Insurance Law Journal
This article addresses the insurance implications of the pending concussion litigation between the National Hockey League and its current and former players. The author draws comparisons to similar litigation brought against the National Football League and the NFL's interactions with its insurers to forecast the obstacles the parties in the NHL litigation will face in establishing coverage by the many insurance carriers who have insured the NHL over time. The author identifies obstacles including determining the moment when coverage is “triggered” and whether certain actions by the NHL will preclude coverage and relieve the insurers of their duty to defend …
