House Bill 3445 and the False Claim Act

Tuesday, April 17th 2007

Horwitz attorney, Jeff Schlapp and Illinois’ most respected nursing home advocate, Margaret Neiderer, join talk radio host and Horwitz Communications Director, Rosemary Roberts in a discussion about House Bill 3445 and the False Claim Act.

HB 3445, one of the most important pieces of Illinois legislation in years, will force ALL nursing homes and assisted living facilities to show proof of liability insurance in the amount of $1 Million (minimum) as a condition of new or renewing licensing.

Unlike your neighborhood auto repair shop and other healthcare providers, long-tern nursing facilities and assisted living homes are not currently required to carry liability insurance, forcing the emotional and financial burdens of abuse and neglect upon the residents and their families.

Please join us for this important audio show and find out how you can help Illinois legislators change this unacceptable situation and improve care for our most frail, aging and disabled.  Listen Now (Windows Media)
