The Feres Doctrine, a 64 year old legal precedent repeatedly upheld by the US Supreme Court, prevents active duty military personnel and their families from suing military doctors or the government for medical malpractice. Active Duty personnel and their families deserve the same level of care as their civilian counterparts, including the right to hold military doctors legally accountable for negligence contributing to a service member's injury or death. We the people petition the Obama Administration to ensure the military medical establishment is held to the same standard as those in the civilian sector. A dear friend and honorable Marine recently died of a treatable disease due to the negligence of military doctors. Please allow his family and those like them the justice they deserve.
