On June 28, 2017, the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) President and CEO Mark Parkinson issued the following statement regarding the House passage of the Protecting Access to Care Act of 2017 (H.R.1215), which would reform health care liability laws.
“Long term and post-acute care providers deliver critical care to more than one million seniors and people with disabilities and employ millions more. Rising liability costs to an already underfunded sector not only threaten access to care but can also cost jobs. This legislation helps at a time when we need it the most. Now more than ever, it’s important to preserve dwindling resources to improve the lives of those who need it and deserve better. We applaud the passage of this bill and look forward to working with members of the Senate.”
