Profs. Monahan & Schwarcz Article Featured on MPR

A paper recently published by Professors Amy Monahan and Daniel Schwarcz in the Virginia Law Review was featured on Minnesota Public Radio. In the paper, Monahan and Schwarcz argue that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will allow employers to restructure their health plans to appeal primarily to healthy employees. At the same time, employers will be permitted to create incentives for their less-healthy employees to forgo the employer plan and instead seek coverage on the newly-created state health insurance exchanges. This type of strategic employer behavior, they argue, may shift costs to the state exchanges and undermine the success of health care reform.
