Bill for patients rights faces partisan clash in Senate
A controversial patients bill of rights sparks a fight between Democrats and Republicans over where patients can sue HMOs and how damages are capped. Supporters warn of higher premiums and lawyer profits, while critics push for full enforcement of contracts and accountability across insurers, HMOs, and medical providers. The piece argues both bills remain flawed and predictably costly, ending with a cynical note on politics and rhetoric.
