In too many states across the country, patients can't get the care they need when they need it. Good doctors are being forced to cut back on vital services, retire early, or leave the practice of medicine altogether.
The reason? Personal injury lawyers have turned our laws into a lottery system - one designed to enrich lawyers, not patients.
Protect Patients Now is a nationwide campaign dedicated to preserving patients' access to quality health care through reform of our nation's broken medical liability system. Please take a moment to sign our Voter Pledge, urging candidates to support commonsense federal reform efforts that will put an end to medical lawsuit abuse.
Medical liability reform legislation - which has proven to be effective in Texas and California - has been proposed in the U.S. Congress. This vitally-needed legislation has been passed by the House of Representatives ten times since 1995 only to be blocked in the Senate through the efforts of personal injury lawyers and a handful of their allies who won't even allow a fair up-or-down vote to take place.
This is why we must call on patients, physicians, and concerned citizens nationwide to join together and demand that our lawmakers protect each and every patient's access to health care. Please sign our Voter Pledge today, and help us elect a Congress that will finally protect patients and their access to quality medical care by passing vitally-needed reform. Protect Patients Now will deliver the petitions to lawmakers in the Congress to make sure your voice is heard.
Add your name to our growing list of supporters by signing the pledge. And be sure to share this important message with your friends, family, and colleagues. With your help, we can stop medical lawsuit abuse once and for all.
Thank you.
