Rep. Burlison discusses the "Khloe Cole Act," which the DOJ helped draft, creating a "private right of action" (ability to sue) for patients to sue doctors and pharma companies for gender-affirming care (puberty blockers/surgeries) with a lengthy statute of limitations. Bondi expresses strong support ("proud to work hand in hand"). This legislation opens a new floodgate of medical malpractice and product liability litigation against hospitals and pharmaceutical companies involved in these treatments. Similar to the opioid crisis, creating a specific legal framework for mass torts against healthcare providers creates unquantifiable liability overhangs for specific hospital chains and drug manufacturers. The legislation may not pass Congress; the number of claimants may be statistically insignificant to large cap pharma earnings. |
