Rothstein on Unintended Consequences & Health Insurance Reform

By Lawrence Solum

ADVERTISEMENTS
Mark A. Rothstein (University of Louisville - Institute for Bioethics, Health Policy, and Law) has posted Health Insurance Reforms: Unintended Consequences (The Hastings Center Bioethics Forum, Forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

Denials of coverage, cancellations of policies, preexisting condition exclusions, lifetime caps on benefits, and other practices have the effect of denying coverage to many individuals who need health insurance. Legislation prohibiting these practices is a seemingly easy way to fix obvious injustices without tackling the entire range of contentious issues. Unfortunately, enacting ?health insurance reform? is likely to lead to severe unintended consequences.
