C
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 imposed exclusions of restriction for those with preexisting conditions, provided protection of insurance coverage as employees change employers, and provides tax exclusions to medical savings accounts. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) allows states to regulate health insurers. The Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA) ensured employees who were laid off could maintain their health insurance for 18 months. AHRQ is not a piece of legislation but stands for The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
