The Sixth Edition of Insurance Law is characterized by extensive updates that permeate the book. While adhering to the same format, each chapter incorporates recent developments that affect substantive insurance law. Some highlights include the following: The addition of text discussing the recent decision Golden Gate Restaurant Association v. City & County of San Francisco, in which the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals upheld San Francisco's "play or pay" ordinance, which requires employers with employees covered by the ordinance to make "required health care expenditures to or on their behalf." The case has potentially far-reaching implications for ERISA preemption jurisprudence. Material on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. Addition of the 2009 California Supreme Court's decision Delgado v. Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club of Southern California which has the potential to significantly affect the scope of an insurer's duty to defend. Coverage of New York's 2008 amendment to Insurance Law Section 3420 which provides for a nuanced approach to the conventional notice-prejudice rule commonly used in most other states. More material on various aspects of the tripartite relationship. Throughout the new edition, the addition of cases is done in the context of the same format. Where cases are deleted, the substantive points are generally preserved in notes following cases.

A Brookings Institution Press and Georgia State University publication Important changes have buffeted the insurance industry over the past decade. The 1999 repeal of key provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act unleashed a wave of conglomeration in financial services, as bank holding companies acquired insurance and securities businesses and, to a much lesser degree, insurance companies acquired securities firms and banks. Rivalry within the sector has intensified: insurance companies have developed products that compete directly with the offerings of banks and securities firms and vice versa. In addition, the industry has become increasingly global. Against this backdrop, pressure has been building for fundamental changes to the structure of insurance regulation in the United States. Despite several court challenges over the years, insurance continues to be regulated by the states. Many insurance companies view state regulation as an increasing drag on their efficiency and competitiveness and support a federal regulatory system. However, powerful stakeholders, including state officials, state and regional insurance companies, and many insurance agents, oppose federal regulation. As a result, proposals to establish an optional federal charter (OFC) for insurance companies and agents remain mired in fierce debate. The Future of Insurance Regulation in the United States gathers some of the country's leading experts on financial regulation to assess the case for an enhanced federal role in the insurance sector. They pay particular attention to the merits of an OFC and how it might be designed. They also consider the principles that should guide insurance regulatory policies, regardless of the institutional framework, and examine the implications of financial convergence and the internationalization of insurance markets for an optimal regulatory structure. The debate over insurance regulation has only grown in complexity and intensity since the financial crisis began in the fall of 2008. This book will both inform and help to shape those critical discussions. Contributors: John A.

Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.
