March
13, 2003 ( Washington, D.C.) The U.S. House of Representatives today passed
the HEALTH Act, a bipartisan bill limiting non-economic damages to $250,000, while
allowing patients to recover for economic damages such as future medical expenses
and loss of future earnings.
The President,
the insurance industry and the doctors' lobby want to limit the rights of injured
patients who are victims of medical negligence, and they point to a 1975 California
law as the model.
