ALERT !!
To All Allies In The Fight For
The Rights Of Nursing Home Residents |
Posted - February 24, 2003
On Wednesday, March 5, 2003 members
of the full Senate Health, Aging and Long Term Care Committee plan
to vote on recommendations from the finalized report of the Joint Select
Committee on Nursing Homes.
PLEASE
CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REPORT !
The Committee will be meeting from 12:30
PM - 2:30 PM in Room 412 of the Knott Building. At this time,
there is no bill number, but the nursing home bill capping damages will
be noticed for the Senate Health, Aging and Long Term Care Committee meeting
on March 5, 2003.
Unfortunately, we are hearing that some
of our "friends" on the Committee are "soft" on the issue of capping damages
awarded to victims of nursing home abuse. These "friends" are saying
they aren't hearing enough against the caps from their constituents
and people in their communities. You can be assured, however, that
they HAVE heard PLENTY from the Insurance and Nursing Home industries!
In addition, the Governor is trying hard to make this a “must pass” issue.
Now is the time for action!
IF YOU AGREE THAT TORT REFORM FOR NURSING
HOME RESIDENTS ALREADY OCCURRED AT THE TIME SENATE BILL 1202 WAS ENACTED
IN 2001, PLEASE start calling and e-mailing the Senators on the Committee
TODAY and URGE THEM TO VOTE AGAINST CAPS ON DAMAGES IN NURSING HOME CASES.
The Committee members especially need to hear from senior citizens
and their loved ones...
Please call TODAY and make
sure your voice is heard.
