“Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare Act,”

H.R. 5, called the would shield nursing homes, hospitals, drug and medical device companies, and doctors from accountability when their misconduct harms or kills patients.
Preventable mistakes by the medical industry kill hundreds of thousands of people each year and injure millions more.
But instead of proposing reforms to prevent needless deaths and injuries, H.R. 5 would make it harder for patients to hold wrongdoers accountable, regardless of how egregious their misconduct is or how severely they have injured patients.
