Don’t Let Congress End Our Elder Abuse Protections!

Congress is set to vote on H.R. 1215 - a pro-corporate, anti-justice bill to federalize health care malpractice lawsuits and limit victims’ access to justice. Aside from imposing price caps on justice and discouraging lawsuits when people are harmed, the bill would eliminate state protections like California’s elder abuse statutes that apply to medical malpractice, pharmaceutical products, nursing homes and health insurance claims. H.R. 1215 represents a craven effort to immunize health care providers from accountability for malpractice and terrible care. Call your Congressperson today and tell them to vote no on H.R. 1215. See the front page of CANHR’s website @ www.canhr.org for more information on H.R. 1215 and how you can oppose this terrible bill.
