Making The Health Insurance Flexibility And Accountability (Hifa) Waiver Work Through Collaborative Governance, Barbara Zabawa Jul 2003

Making The Health Insurance Flexibility And Accountability (Hifa) Waiver Work Through Collaborative Governance, Barbara Zabawa

Faculty Works

This article examines the Health Insurance Flexibility and Accountability (HIFA) waiver introduced in 2001, focusing on its potential as a tool for collaborative governance in expanding health insurance coverage. The HIFA waiver grants states greater programmatic flexibility and encourages public-private partnerships, aiming to address the complex challenges of uninsured populations. Although the waiver has been criticized for possibly reducing benefits and increasing cost-sharing, the paper argues for its use as a vehicle to foster stakeholder collaboration. It highlights the importance of integrating diverse perspectives to design politically and economically viable health reforms. Challenges such as stakeholder engagement, accountability, and resource …


Insuring Against Terrorism And Crime, Saul Levmore, Kyle D. Logue May 2003

Insuring Against Terrorism And Crime, Saul Levmore, Kyle D. Logue

Law & Economics Working Papers Archive: 2003-2009

The attacks of September 11th produced staggering losses of life and property. They also brought forth substantial private insurance payouts, as well as federal relief for the City of New York and for the families of individuals who perished on that day. The losses suffered in and after the attacks, and the structure of the relief effort, have raised questions about the availability of insurance against terrorism, the role of government in providing for, subsidizing, or ensuring the presence of such insurance, and the interaction between relief and the incentives for future precaution taking. In response to such losses, and …

Breaking Through The Erisa Blockade: The Ability Of States To Access Employer Health Plan Information In Medicaid Expansion Initiatives, Barbara Zabawa Jan 2001

Breaking Through The Erisa Blockade: The Ability Of States To Access Employer Health Plan Information In Medicaid Expansion Initiatives, Barbara Zabawa

Faculty Works

The article discusses the challenges and potential solutions for states to access employer health plan information under the constraints of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974. It focuses on the importance of such access in supporting Medicaid expansion programs, using Wisconsin’s BadgerCare initiative as a case study. The article highlights the growing concern about "crowd out," where public health programs may displace employer-sponsored insurance, and argues for balanced public-private health coverage. It examines legal avenues for circumventing ERISA preemption, including federal law exceptions, Qualified Medical Child Support Orders (QMCSOs), and provisions under Title XIX of Medicaid. By …


The "Access" Problem: How Employee And Employer Issues May Increase Badgercare Participation By Impeding The Verification Process, Barbara Zabawa Jan 2001

The "Access" Problem: How Employee And Employer Issues May Increase Badgercare Participation By Impeding The Verification Process, Barbara Zabawa

Faculty Works

In its effort to be a welfare reform pioneer, Wisconsin has led the nation in adopting one of the most expansive public health insurance programs, "BadgerCare," to address the health care needs of working families in the post-welfare reform era. One year after BadgerCare implementation, Wisconsin is experiencing the fiscal impact of the program due to unexpectedly high enrollment in BadgerCare. While some Wisconsin leaders praise this growth rate for reducing the number of uninsured, others raise a concern that the enrollment figures may be rising due to employees opting for BadgerCare rather than employer-sponsored insurance. Consequently, this "crowd-out" effect …

Introduction: Three Contributions To Three Important Problems In Evidence Scholarship, Peter Tillers Jul 1997

Introduction: Three Contributions To Three Important Problems In Evidence Scholarship, Peter Tillers

Cardozo Law Review

This issue of the Cardozo Law Review is graced with original contributions about three fundamental problems in evidence scholarship and the law of evidence. First, in an exchange of views about legal remedies for the wrongful infliction of "evidential damage," Professors Ariel Porat and Alex Stein, on the one hand, and Professor Richard Friedman, on the other, touch on some of the difficulties that are associated with the nearly oxymoronic task of measuring the harm done by the destruction or loss of unknown evidence. Second, in an article about the relationship between estimation of drug quantities and burdens of proof, …

Back To The Parent: Holding Company Liability For Subsidiary Banks - A Discussion Of The Net Worth Maintenance Agreement, The Source Of Stength Doctrine, And The Prompt Corrective Action Provision, Cassandra Jones Havard

Cardozo Law Review

The unprecedented number of bank failures in the past several years has spawned a crisis in the industry and fueled an extensive debate about how federal regulators can effectively make banks more responsible for guaranteeing the soundness of their operations. For the federal regulators most involved-the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), and the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") -Congress is directing the effort to enhance the banks' guarantees of self-policing. Congress's basic response to the crisis has been to heighten the minimum capital levels the banks must maintain to avoid direct corrective intervention by the federal …


Stories Out Of School: Teaching The Case Of Brown V. Voss, Elizabeth J. Samuels Mar 1995

Stories Out Of School: Teaching The Case Of Brown V. Voss, Elizabeth J. Samuels

Cardozo Law Review

In a deft parody of conventional education-inspired by a vote to put a school system on a year-round schedule-the parodist purports to have unearthed a letter from Huck Finn to Tom Sawyer's aunt, Mrs. Phelps. In the letter, Huck reports on a productive summer spent in school, studying long hours and earning high grades.

Daubert V. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Epistemiology And Legal Process, Margaret G. Farrell Apr 1994

Daubert V. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: Epistemiology And Legal Process, Margaret G. Farrell

Cardozo Law Review

Justice Blackmun's majority opinion in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. acknowledges that law and science have different goals, but it fails to recognize the implications of those differences for legal process. Recent increases in the scientifically-based claims brought in the federal courts, and in the size and complexity of the litigation in which such claims are made, have raised the stakes in the debate. At the same time, scientific concepts of relativity, uncertainty, and multiple causation are at odds with simple, legal notions about fact-finding and cause and effect. This disparity between legal and scientific understandings over the admission …

Confronting Deep Strictures: Robinson, Rickey, And Racism, Aviam Soifer Jan 1985

Confronting Deep Strictures: Robinson, Rickey, And Racism, Aviam Soifer

Cardozo Law Review

A strange and wonderful major league event in 1947 altered baseball and, perhaps, the consciousness of America. Viewed from a Critical Legal Studies perspective, however, that event-the integration of the National League by Jackie Robinson-is both more and less significant than it might otherwise seem. In this essay, Professor Soifer explains why.

Interpreting An Insurance Policy In Georgia: The Problem Of The Evidentiary Condition, Eric M. Holmes Jul 1978

Interpreting An Insurance Policy In Georgia: The Problem Of The Evidentiary Condition, Eric M. Holmes

Scholarly Works

The purpose of this essay is to suggest an analytic framework for solving a recurrent insurance problem which springs from what might be called an "evidentiary condition." These conditions can be found in most classes of insurance policies. The immodest purpose of this modest essay is to devise a line of analysis which resolves the problems raised by evidentiary conditions and affords sensitivity and protection to all the competing interests in an insurance contract. The proffered solution, which I label the doctrine of evidentiary conditions, may furnish a doctrinal bridge for reconciling the two disparate contract schools.
