New York malpractice proposal gives hospitals all the cards
Friday, June 18, 2010
The Pop Tort (blog): According to this report, the New York State Department of Health “is participating in a new federally-funded hospital program whereby patients injured in certain hospitals will be forced into a newly created, biased legal structure, where the health industry essentially becomes (or highly influences) the decision maker as to whether malpractice occurred.” Especially disturbing is the note that the success of the program will be evaluated by a Harvard School of Public Health professor who has a “consultancy arrangement” with Common Good, an organization working to limit Americans’ access to the civil justice system.
