If federal health reforms continue to rely on employer-sponsored health care coverage, ERISA preemption reform should be part of the next steps. State-level reform has acquired greater urgency, while the justifications for preempting that source of reform has eroded. This article recommends a statutory waiver for ERISA preemption as a feasible way to adapt to these circumstances. It offers proposed statutory text for reformers inclined to pursue ERISA reform as health reform.
如果联邦医疗改革继续依赖雇主赞助的医疗保险覆盖范围，《雇员退休收入保障法》（ERISA）的预先排除改革应该是下一步的一部分。州级改革已经变得更加紧迫，而预先排除这一改革来源的理由已经削弱。本文建议作为一种可行的方法来适应这些情况，对《雇员退休收入保障法》的预先排除进行法定豁免。它为倾向于将《雇员退休收入保障法》改革作为医疗改革的改革者提供了拟议的法定文本。
