Three state lawmakers say there are ways to improve health care that would limit federal involvement
BROKEN ARROW, Ok. - A Broken Arrow state lawmaker and doctor says there needs to be tougher laws that limit the amount paid in malpractice suits. Representative Mike Ritze joined Representative John Trebilcock and Senator Bill Brown to address their fellow Broken Arrow church members last night about health care issues. "But everybody that goes to the emergency room is paying for them and that costs us, as people that are buying health insurance or as taxpayers, to pay for the non-paying element that's going to the emergency rooms," Ritze says. The House and Senate may be voting on health care legislation this fall. Passage in both houses would set the stage for a compromise to be voted on by year's end.
