Support the Fairness in Nursing Home Arbitration Act
Mandatory binding arbitration clauses are inherently unfair to consumers, and they have been popping up in nursing home contracts across the country. Facilities fail to reveal what these clauses mean to their residents and often hide them in required paperwork. What the nursing homes aren't telling you is that should a dispute arise because your loved one is neglected, harmed or injured, this clause would bar you from holding the facility accountable in a court of law.  HR 6126, the Fairness in Nursing Home Arbitration Act, will correct this injustice.
