Washington D.C. – El Representante Johnson, preocupado porque sus constituyentes no están recibiendo información correcta sobre el debate en la Reforma de Salud, le gustaría explicar a sus constituyentes cuales serían los cambios en el servicio.
Compañías aseguradoras, no trabajadores en el área de salud o consumidores, están dominado el debate, afirmó Johnson.
The Wayne Shackelford Excellence in Public Service Award recognizes a former county official who also has served or is serving the citizens of Georgia in a state or national office.
“This is a truly singular honor from my colleagues and friends in the ACCG, and I humbly thank you,” Johnson told the crowd. “As county commissioners, I know you are always on the front lines, and the federal government should be a partner in helping you do your jobs effectively and efficiently.”
David Kurth of Burlington, Wis., was also denied the ability to sue after his father died as a result of alleged poor care he received in a nursing home. The nursing home claimed the paperwork a family member had signed when the father was admitted required the matter to go to binding arbitration.
It is cases such as these and thousands of others that prompted Rep. Hank Johnson (GA-04) to introduce H.R. 1020, the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2009 in February.
