Now it is time for Congress to rule that binding arbitration should not be allowed in nursing home patient contracts. This is the centerpiece of the Arbitration Fairness Act of 2009.

There are many incidents when people are forced into arbitration. To learn more about the nursing home legislation, please click the link.
