The Hospitals Gain Bill
Hospitals gain immunity when partnering with state agencies
An act relating to hospital collaboration and state action immunity
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would shield hospitals from being sued when they work with the state, limiting people's ability to take them to court.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People could lose a key way to hold hospitals accountable if they cause harm while working with the state. The bill is still early, so citizens can speak up now.
