The American Association for Justice has published a primer on the medical malpractice debate. It comprehensively shows how special interest groups have perpetuated myths in an effort to strip Americans of their rights in order to pad their profits. Here are some of the findings:
It is widely accepted that approximately 98,000 Americans die every year as a result of medical errors. That’s like two 747 airplanes full of passengers crashing to the ground every day for a year. Yet, some legislators want to strip innocent victims of their constitutional rights, including limiting their recoveries, instead of focusing on preventing future errors.
Our leaders should be fighting for safer drugs, safer hospitals, better medical practices, and a safer American health system. We must put people over profits.
