Free Rider: A Justification For Mandatory Medical Insurance Under Health Care Reform?, Jeffrey H. Kahn, Douglas A. Kahn
Free Rider: A Justification For Mandatory Medical Insurance Under Health Care Reform?, Jeffrey H. Kahn, Douglas A. Kahn
Scholarly Publications
Section 1501 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act added section 5000A to the Internal Revenue Code to require most individuals in the United States, beginning in the year 2014, to purchase an established minimum level of medical insurance. This requirement, which is enforced by a penalty imposed on those who fail to comply, is sometimes referred to as the “individual mandate.” The individual mandate is one element of a vast change to the provision of medical care that Congress implemented in 2010. The individual mandate has proved to be controversial and has been the subject of a number …

The Unaffordable Health Care Act - A Reponse To Professors Bagley And Horwitz, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn
The Unaffordable Health Care Act - A Reponse To Professors Bagley And Horwitz, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn
Articles
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 has stirred considerable controversy. In the public debate over the program, many of its proponents have defended it by focusing on what is sometimes called the “free-rider” problem. In a prior article, we contended that the free-rider problem has been greatly exaggerated and was not a significant factor in the congressional decision to adopt the Act. We maintained that the free-rider issue is a red herring advanced to trigger an emotional attraction to the Act and distract attention from the actual issues that favor and disfavor its adoption. In a recently …

Four Constitutional Limits That The Minimum Coverage Provision Respects, Neil S. Siegel
Four Constitutional Limits That The Minimum Coverage Provision Respects, Neil S. Siegel
Faculty Scholarship
Opponents of the minimum coverage provision in the Affordable Care Act charge that if Congress can require most people to obtain health insurance or pay a certain amount of money, then Congress can impose whatever mandates it wishes - or, at least, whatever purchase mandates it wishes. This Essay refutes that claim by identifying four limits on the Commerce Clause that the minimum coverage provision honors. Congress may not use its commerce power: (1) to regulate noneconomic subject matter; (2) to impose a regulation that violates constitutional rights, including the right to bodily integrity; (3) to regulate at all, including …
Defense Of The Constitutionality Of Health Care Reform, Gillian E. Metzger
Defense Of The Constitutionality Of Health Care Reform, Gillian E. Metzger
Faculty Scholarship
Along with the others, I want to thank David for organizing this panel. The great advantage of going last is that the terms of the debate over the Affordable Care Act's constitutionality have been established by the other panelists. As a result, I am going to target my remarks on a few key points, rather than walk through a full dress review of some of the arguments. Like the others, my focus is on existing doctrine. I completely agree with Dean Chemerinsky in thinking that the Supreme Court is not going to change the key parameters of existing analysis, but …
Can You Really Keep Your Health Care Plan? The Limits Of Grandfathering Under The Affordable Care Act, Elizabeth Weeks Leonard
Can You Really Keep Your Health Care Plan? The Limits Of Grandfathering Under The Affordable Care Act, Elizabeth Weeks Leonard
Scholarly Works
This article examines the rhetoric and reality of President Obama's repeated hallmark promise during federal health reform that "you can keep your health plan," as one example of the Administration's equivocal stance toward deregulation. Although rhetorically supporting the popular preference for decreased government involvement in health care, the Obama Administration, in several instances, has achieved significant re-regulation through the intricacies of executive branch rule-making. The Affordable Care Act's "grandfather rule" (Section 1251, "Preservation of Right to Maintain Existing Coverage") purports to uphold the "you can keep your health plan" promise. But the regulatory requirements for plans to retain grandfathered status …
Reconstructing The Individual Mandate As An Escrow Account, Gregg Polsky
Reconstructing The Individual Mandate As An Escrow Account, Gregg Polsky
Scholarly Works
This short essay in Michigan Law Review First Impressions describes how the individual mandate could be reconstructed as an escrow account. Such a restructuring would ameliorate policy concerns regarding the mandate while still deterring the opportunistic behavior that would otherwise occur as a result of the nondiscrimination rules imposed on insurers.
