I need your voice to assist me in that message. We have to be able to stand up for patients and good doctors. Let's take on the insurance companies who control the system of healthcare delivery and the legislators.

medical malpractice insurance crisis bookInsurance companies have taken over the practice of medicine. They know, better than anyone, the number of people who are hurt or killed each year by hospital errors, hospital infections and medication errors. You are now being told that you will be better off if doctors and hospitals are not responsible for their errors--avoidable medical errors. Healthcare consumers have unknowingly allowed medical insurance companies to run our government and take away our rights. The insurance industry is continuing its efforts to enact unjust unjust reforms which are highly unfair to victims of healthcare error, and which will do nothing to reduce medical error or the cost of healthcare, and will do nothing to make healtcare more available. These laws will not promote safe, affordable care.
