I visited the site http://www.citizen.com and found an article there re a Bill to be voted on TODAY, Thursday, by the Senate that will lower the accountibility and responsibility of doctors and hospitals that provide inferior care or make mistakes that cause harm to patients. It also lowers the degree that companies that produce inferior products will be held liable. If you think about it, from the direction we have taken re Customer Service replacing the quality of Patient Care as the priority of the hospital administrations/Budgeteers, a Bill like this would have to be in place. It allows them to have their cake and eat it too. Where does this put us in this except as not a bit more than Room Service. Boy, have we taken a 180 degree turn! Agencies have had that same Pimping philosophy. Can a John get his money back?Send the free fax TODAY!
