Insurance Exchanges

This “Legal Solutions in Health Reform” paper identifies and analyzes the legal issues raised by health insurance exchanges. Like all Legal Solutions papers, it does not purport to provide a concrete proposal as to how health insurance exchanges should be organized or even whether they should play a role in health care reform. Rather, it attempts simply to describe the legal issues that health insurance exchanges raise, and to propose alternative solutions to legal problems where useful. More specifically, it analyzes and offers alternative solutions to the legal problems raised by proposals to establish insurance exchanges by the federal government, by state governments, and by private entities or associations. Because the focus of this project and paper is on legal issues, discussion of policy and design issues is attenuated. Nevertheless, some attention to policy issues is unavoidable because law is the realization of policy.

Policy Issues

This study examines the changing classification of contraception vis-à-vis health insurance within legislative, legal, and administrative venues at the state and national levels. It brings together research on categorization and framing in public policy discourse to show (a) how categorization processes shape not only groups of people but also policy issues and (b) how framing can operate not only within issue categories but also to construct issue categories themselves. Through attention to the larger policy-making trajectory and an in-depth state-level case study, the author develops a typology of categorization frames and explores the likely outcomes of categorization in recent health care reform.
