Chapter Chapter 7 in Laws and Regulations in Global Financial Markets, 2013, pp 251-305 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Insurance regulation is extensive, encompassing a vast segment of federal and state regulations that are well beyond the scope of this text. Accordingly, we will briefly review the basics of insurance law and regulation but we will explore in some depth issues that have engendered extraordinary publicity and concern. The reader should have some acquaintance of recent legislation that affect seriously both the public and private segments of the economy. Thus, we will place substantial emphasis on the most controversial statutes affecting the nation in the area of heath, to wit, the Dodd–Frank Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We will also review the collateral issue of a practice of some drug manufacturers to “pay-for-delay” of generic drugs. Before discussing the two major statutes in relation to insurance, we will present a brief review of insurance coverage.
