Here in Wetumpka, Alabama, Nursing homes have inserted arbitration clauses. Arbitration clauses mean no one is responsible and no one is held accountable. . We have to forfit our seventh amendment rights to have a home in this county. This is a bipartisan issue. The Democrats, on this issue, have a better bill.They address the problem and offer a solution. The present use of arbitration was not the intent of the law. This is a privatization of the justice system. Consumer confidence is at an all time low, and arbitration plays a part in this. We were forced into arbitration. We were threatened with arbitration. Why would a fair process be use by big business to threaten a consumer? Why, if arbitration is so fair... is it mandatory? jfogal281@aol.com... 40118@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_1135.html 4/17/2007: Referred to Senate committee.
