Senate Judiciary Committee markup on False Claims Act legislation
The Senate Judiciary Committee today passed the False Claims Amendments Act (S. 2428), legislation that would make it harder to dismiss meritless lawsuits, among other problematic changes to the False Claims Act.
In a letter yesterday to the committee, the AHA, U.S. Chamber of Commerce and 23 other health care and business organizations expressed opposition to the bill.
“While we appreciate the improvements this amendment makes to S. 2428 as it was introduced, the amended bill still would contain provisions that will facilitate meritless qui tam litigation.”
