Supreme Court Touches on Big Data, National Healthcare Policy...and ERISA

Over the last few days, many articles are blogs have appeared on a March 1, 2016 Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision, Gobeille v Liberty Mutual Insurance Company.   The case decided that a Vermont law requiring claims data from "all payers" violated a federal law called ERISA, that generally shields employer-self-insured plans from state regulation.   The case has some interesting implications for big data in health care, and attracted a 102 page amicus curiae filing from the U.S. government.  Details after the break.
