    Mandatory Arbitration Agreements in Healthcare

    In this morning’s Patriot-News, PaAJ President Tim Riley contributes a guest column alerting readers to the increasing use arbitration agreements for medical treatment.

    “Are we willing to allow every institution to dictate that in order to receive their services we must forfeit our right of access to the courts if we are harmed by the transaction? BEING FORCED to choose between an open door to your doctor's office and preserving your constitutional rights is no choice at all. Both our federal and state constitutions jealously guard our right to trial by jury because of the fundamental importance this protection provides to all citizens. Permitting health care facilities to demand that patients forfeit their constitutional rights in order to receive medical treatment is bad medicine."
