Bauman v. U.S. Healthcare

This case calls upon us to revisit the issue of"complete preemption" under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a), in the context of a lawsuit claiming medical malpractice, a question we last considered in Dukes v. U.S. Healthcare, Inc., 57 F.3d 350 (3d Cir. 1995).
