In 2005, the Illinois legislature passed long-awaited medical liability reforms to protect our access to quality, affordable health care.
Now the trial lawyers are challenging these reforms in court, hoping to overturn them and protect their profit-seeking lawsuits.
Rampant lawsuit abuse has forced up the cost of medical liability insurance - costing Illinois doctors as much as $100,000 more per year than doctors in neighboring states.
Doctors have been forced to flee the state. Health care providers shut their doors. Illinois is bleeding - and Illinois families have been left out in the cold.
By signing this petition, I am signaling my support for Illinois' medical liability reforms. It's time to take Illinois out of our medical liability crisis and restore fairness to our legal system.
