Why Should We Have To Tell Members OF congress To Protect Our Interests?

In Congress, Big Pharma’s corporate election spending is paying off.

Your representative is getting ready to vote on H.R. 5, an extreme bill that would limit patients’ rights and allow the medical industry to go virtually unpunished when patients are harmed or killed by the industry’s negligence or malpractice.

For everyone who has ever had a parent in a nursing home, or had concerns about the safety of prescription drugs their children are taking, we need to send the strongest possible message to Congress RIGHT NOW.

Call 1-888-291-9824 to reach the U.S. Capitol switchboard, and ask for your representative’s office.

Then tell your representative to VOTE NO on H.R. 5.

Let us know you called with a quick comment on our website.

If H.R. 5 passes, the costs of medical mistakes would shift from negligent hospitals, drug companies, medical device manufacturers and doctors to injured patients, their families, and taxpayer-funded health and disability programs.

Studies show that preventable medical errors kill more than 180,000 Americans a year and injure millions more.*

With so many medical mistakes occurring, the worst thing Congress could do right now is take away patients’ legal rights.

So today we’ve got to send an unmistakable message.

Use 1-888-291-9824 to be connected with your representative. Tell him or her to oppose H.R. 5.
