Lets military service members sue the government for medical malpractice.
This bill would allow active and reserve military service members, or their families, to sue the U.S. government for injuries or death caused by improper medical care at most military facilities. Currently, service members generally cannot sue the government for such issues. This change would give them a new way to seek justice for medical errors.
Today, military service members generally cannot sue the U.S. government for injuries or death caused by medical malpractice during their service; an existing administrative claims process (10 U.S.C. 2733a) would be repealed by this bill. This bill would change that. It would allow active and reserve service members, or their families, to bring lawsuits against the government for negligent medical care received at most military facilities. It would also ensure that any compensation from these lawsuits does not reduce their VA benefits or Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance.
