WHO: Rep. Darrell Issa, Rep. Richard Hudson, Rep. Michael Waltz, and Rep. Jimmy Panetta
WHAT: Press conference announcing introduction of HERO Act
WHEN: Thursday, July 13, 2023, 1:30 pm ET
WHERE: House Triangle (Located in the grassy triangle on the House side of the Capitol’s East Front)
BACKGROUND: The HERO Act will grant service members who are victims of medical malpractice in a DoD medical treatment facility the right and opportunity to take their claim to District Court — the same legal process as military spouses, DoD civilians and anyone else. It will finally reform the current failing system and replace it with one that gives our military the fair shot at justice they deserve.
