Florida House Passes Bill to Repeal ‘Free Kill’ Law, Offering Hope to Families
In a significant move towards protecting patient rights, the Florida House has passed a bill aimed at repealing the state's controversial 'Free Kill' law. This law, which has been a point of contention for many years, previously allowed doctors and hospitals to be shielded from malpractice lawsuits in certain circumstances, leaving families without recourse after losing loved ones due to medical errors.
The passage of the bill marks a turning point for families across Florida who have been advocating for change. The 'Free Kill' law, officially known as Florida Statute 766.118, has been criticized for its harsh impact on patients and their families. The proposed repeal has been met with overwhelming support in the House, reflecting a broader consensus on the need for reform in medical malpractice laws.
Supporters of the bill, including various advocacy groups and affected families, expressed hope that the Senate will follow suit and pass the legislation. The move is seen as a step towards ensuring accountability and justice in the healthcare system. Critics of the existing law argue that it unfairly protects medical professionals at the expense of patient safety and rights.
