Tell Congress to Oppose H.R. 5!

H.R. 5, the Help Efficient Accessible, Low Cost, Timely Health Care (HEALTH) Act of 2011 is expected to move to the House floor soon.  Breathtaking in scope, H.R. 5 takes away the legal rights of those injured by medical and nursing home negligence, defective drugs, and medical devices, while preventing civil actions against HMOs and insurers.  The bill also preempts state law that is more favorable to patients while keeping in place state law that favors medical providers.  This bill ignores the real problem, the 98,000 people who die every year from preventable medical errors.  Legal accountability provides a strong incentive to focus on safety and reduce medical errors.  Eliminating that incentive is bad policy and bad for patients.  Let your Representative know that the legal rights and remedies of patients need to be protected.
