Allison K. Hoffman is the William Maul Measey Professor of Law and Health Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, where she researches health care law and policy with a focus on insurance regulation, Medicare, the Affordable Care Act, and long-term care. She previously served as Deputy Dean (2022-2024) and holds a faculty appointment in medical ethics.
Her scholarship critically examines:
- Health insurance market design and regulatory failures
- Equity implications of Medicaid and Medicare policies
- Financial security in aging and long-term care systems
- Legal frameworks for vulnerable populations, including immigrants and low-income communities
- Political economy of health reform, particularly post-ACA developments
Recent publications analyze trends in health policy litigation (e.g., Supreme Court decisions on Medicaid funding), digital privacy in healthcare, pandemic-era insurance systems, and the ethical dimensions of dementia care. Her work consistently addresses systemic inequities and the tension between market-based solutions and social insurance models.
Awards:
- Robert A. Gorman Award for Excellence in Teaching (2017-18)
As Deputy Dean, she oversaw academic programs and institutional strategy. She frequently contributes to national media (The New York Times, Washington Post) and regulatory discourse, particularly regarding Medicaid sustainability and coverage accessibility under recent federal policy shifts.
