ERISA Preemption Manual for State Health Policy Makers

The manual offers detailed analysis and source materials related to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and its implications for state health care initiatives. State efforts to expand health care coverage and regulate insurance markets are affected by ERISA’s national standards for employee benefit plans. Though court decisions have narrowed the scope of ERISA, the reach of this federal law remains extensive. Published in conjunction with the Alpha Center and State Coverage Initiatives.
