At press time ...
The House was slated to act on patient rights legislation the week of July 23. That same day, the Academy ran another ad in Roll Call, telling the House that the "Senate has passed a real Patients' Bill of Rights. It's time for the House to hold managed care companies accountable and put patients and their doctors back in charge of health care."
