Protect patient safety, stop HB 251!
In Georgia, House Bill 251 threatens to remove physicians from overseeing anesthesia care, jeopardizing patient safety in order to reduce costs. This dangerous bill aligns with a broader trend of insurance companies and policymakers trying to sideline medical professionals to maximize financial gains. Anesthesia is a complex, life-critical medical practice that requires the expertise of highly trained physicians. Stripping away this oversight puts patients at risk of serious complications, including brain damage, permanent disability, and even death.
The Patients Not Profits Coalition is actively working to educate the public, mobilize healthcare professionals, and pressure lawmakers to reject HB 251. We believe Georgia families deserve safe, physician-led anesthesia care—not a system that puts cost savings above lives.
HB 251 is about cutting costs—not protecting patients. Anesthesia is complex. Would you trust a surgery without a doctor in charge? Say NO to HB 251.
I urge you to oppose HB 251, which removes physicians from overseeing anesthesia care in Georgia. This bill puts patient safety at risk by allowing less-trained providers to administer anesthesia without physician supervision—jeopardizing lives to cut costs.
Anesthesia is a complex, life-critical practice. Removing physician oversight increases the risk of complications, including brain damage, disability, or death. HB 251 isn't about access—it's about maximizing corporate profits at patients' expense.
Georgia families deserve safe, physician-led care. Please vote NO on HB 251 and put patients before profits.
