Abstract

David Trueman's article reviews the history of ERISA preemption by analyzing seminal Supreme Court cases and predicts the future of ERISA preemption in his analysis of recent federal case law. Traditionally, the ability to hold a managed care entity responsible for its actions has been hampered by a strict interpretation of the preemption clauses of ERISA but as the Supreme Court's jurisprudence has evolved and loosened, several federal courts have allowed suits against managed care companies to go forward. Conflict among the federal circuits has arisen and the Supreme Court has granted certiorari to two cases from Texas in order to clarify ERISA preemption. Mr. Trueman discusses the future of ERISA preemption in light of these decisions.

摘要

大卫·特鲁曼的文章通过分析最高法院的一些具有重大意义的案例回顾了《雇员退休收入保障法》（ERISA）优先适用的历史，并在分析近期联邦判例法时预测了ERISA优先适用的未来走向。传统上，对ERISA优先适用条款的严格解释阻碍了让管理式医疗实体为其行为负责的能力，但随着最高法院判例法的发展和放宽，一些联邦法院已允许针对管理式医疗公司的诉讼继续进行。联邦巡回法院之间出现了冲突，最高法院已批准调卷令，要求审理来自得克萨斯州的两起案件，以澄清ERISA的优先适用问题。特鲁曼先生根据这些判决讨论了ERISA优先适用的未来。
