`Bi-partisan federal legislation was introduced last week by United States Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Max Baucus (D-MT) that will provide federal grants for full-disclosure/Sorry Works! type pilot programs at the state level. The bill number is S 1337 and can be viewed at this link.
This is yet another exciting development after the recent passage of the Sorry Works! pilot program in Illinois (Illinois Senate Bill 475). Pilot programs at the state level will encourage more hospitals and doctors to try Sorry Works/full-disclosure and learn first hand how this approach reduces lawsuits and liability costs while providing swift justice to more victims and reducing medical errors.
Please call or write your member of Congress and tell them to support S 1337.
Stay tuned to the Sorry Works! website for updates on this legislation and please sign up for our newsletter by hitting this link to receive bi-weekly updates on the legislation and other important information.
If you have questions call 618-559-8168 or e-mail doug@sorryworks.net. Thank you!
