Legislative Alert - Help Advance Nursing Home Tort Reform

Email your Senator and ask them to support HB 661/SB 1396 to ensure precious Medicaid funding goes toward nursing home quality care and not lawsuits.

Today, nursing home tort reform moved a step closer as the full House passed HB 661 by Reps. Matt Gaetz and Shawn Harrison. PLEASE ACT NOW! Email your Senator and ask them to support HB 661/SB 1396 with NO amendments. Simply click here to use the message FHCA has developed or craft your own. We are in the final week of the legislative session and need to increase the number of voices speaking up for long term care to urge their support of nursing home tort reform. Lawsuits do nothing to improve quality resident care. Every dollar that is not used for lawsuits goes into the quality health care of our patients and residents. Thank you for taking action today and helping with this important issue.
