Senate Ponders Two Patients' Rights Bills
CNN 
June 14, 2001
Excerpt: Both ... call for the creation of independent panels to review HMO decisions denying care. [The Frist bill] calls for exhausting of the review process before a lawsuit can be initiated. Such a suit would have to be filed in federal court, and pain and suffering awards would be capped at $500,000 ... there would be no punitive damage awards. [The Kennedy bill] would allow patients easier access to [federal or state] courts, even if the independent review process has not been exhausted.
