Medical Malpractice and the Military

Military families that are the victims of medical malpractice may soon be able to hold the military liable for negligent medical care.  Congressman Hinchey (D-NY) has authored a bill that will Reverse Military Medical Malpractice Injustice.  Hinchey states that, "[t]his legislation provides members of the military and their families with a way of holding their medical providers accountable for negligent care.  They will no longer have nowhere to turn should something terrible happen."

This could be great news for the service men and woman of our country.  I'm interested in seeing what the expected additional cost would be.
