Statement of Senator Patty Murray on President Bush’s Medical Malpractice Reform Efforts

With President Bush today traveling to Illinois to renew his call for medical liability reform, Senator Patty Murray today called on him to support real, bipartisan reforms:

“Today, President Bush continued his misguided effort to curb the right of every injured patient to seek justice by pushing his flawed medical liability reform bill. That there is a problem with the nation’s medical malpractice insurance market is undeniable, but giving those who have caused harm a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card is not the answer. Instead of pandering to insurance companies and large pharmaceutical companies, the President should work with us to find a real, bi-partisan solution that helps control the cost of malpractice insurance for doctors without undermining patient safety and protections.”
