Healthcare uses an unfair law against the patient

Created by D.G. on March 30, 2012

ERISA, a law that pertains to employers 401(k) plans has been twisted for use against patients rights and employees who subscribe to the comapny's Long Term Disability plan. Under ERISA, patients and employees do not have the right to jury trial in seeking malpractice, grievance and long term disability claims. This violates the patients Civil Rights to a fair trial. The Sepreme Court decided against healthcare and insurance company's in MetLife vs. Glenn. It was stated in the decision that the high court is not in favor of the ERISA law having jurisdiction over healthcare and disabilities rights when this law pertains to an employers retirement plan. The court publically request that a new law be established to have fair jurisdiction over such cases. We the people need to ban together.
