Noted healthcare legal and policy expert, Chris Deacon, JD, will
provide a detailed analysis of the Supreme Court decision and its
likely impact on self-insured employers. This presentation will
include discussion of:

• Which current regulatory structures may change under the new precedent.
• How regulators are likely to respond to the changes.
• Implications for congressional action affecting self-funded employers and purchasers.
• Opportunities and threats for self-funded employers and purchasers under the new legal framework.

On Friday, June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court issued a landmark
decision in two interlinked cases that overturn a 40-year-old
precedent, significantly weakening the regulatory power of federal
officials. This decision is expected to have profound implications for
the entire healthcare industry, with many current federal regulations
governing self-insured health plans potentially under threat. In the
future, regulators at the Departments of Labor and Health and
Human Services will have significantly less leeway in interpreting
vague or ambiguous federal laws.
