Bill overview
The Healthcare Equality and Rights for Our Heroes Act (HERO Act) allows service members and their families to sue the United States government for injuries and deaths resulting from negligent or improper medical care received at military treatment facilities. This bill amends existing law to establish a specific legal avenue for filing such claims, ensuring that benefits received from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance do not reduce the amount of compensation awarded. It also sets forth limitations on the time frame for filing claims and requires the Attorney General to report on the number of claims filed.
