The legality of Vermont's all-payer claims database

At issue in Gobeille v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company is whether or not the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act supersedes Vermont's law that requires insurers to report data to its all-payer claims database. Liberty Mutual argues that it does, and thus refused to provide that state with the information that its law required.

The Supreme Court agreed June 29 to hear the case, according to the Court's list of cases set to be argued in the term starting in October. Oral arguments have not yet been scheduled for the case, but recently, two major provider groups--the American Hospital Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges-- submitted an amicus brief last month supporting Vermont's stance in the case.

Not sure how much has been discussed about the HUGE issue of Medical Records (HIPPA) and portability, transferability etc. mandated by this standard The market has been cornered by an Obama clone and these kinds of feeds are accumulated into a "Accept/Deny" pool based on risk with the Government doing most of the heavy lifting on risk layers and feeding it to the "approved" providers...

WRT the HUGE issue of Medical Records (HIPPA), portability, transferability etc, mandated by this standard..... The market has been cornered by an Obama clone;feeds are accumulated into a "Accept/Deny" pool based on risk with the Government doing most of the heavy lifting on risk layers.....feeding it to the "approved" providers...

Obamacare was cunningly developed as a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power...... O's cronies profited bigtime.

(A) Michelle's buddy---botched the billion dollar web site rollout---still doesn't work.

(B) Harry Reid's $4 billion "accidental" payment to Landrieu is a clue to how the straight party-line vote got this atrocity passed.

(C) A multi-billion dollar slush fund---the Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion........

....the reasons for all those O/Care delays, fixits, exemptions, waivers, extensions, etc, are becoming crystal clear.
