CITY HALL LETS HOSPITALS

BAN YOU FOR COMPLAINT

Help enact a law to stop this nasty hospital retaliation

HOSPITALS CAN BAN YOU FOR ANY COMPLAINT, ending your medical care,

because no law prohibits that.

CLEVELAND CLINIC sometimes does this, and can ban you from medical

care from all its hospitals and clinics and its hundreds of doctors,

simply by entering a ban code in its computerized appointments

system. The result can be death or a worse medical outcome for you,

because Cleveland Clinic is the best Greater Cleveland hospital for

some serious medical conditions. Cleveland Clinic's hospitals:

Fairview, Lakewood, Lutheran, SouthPointe, Huron, Euclid, Hillcrest,

mount, and its clinics in Westlake, Solon, Lakewood, Beachwood,

Strongsville, Warrensville Heights, Chagrin Falls, Independence,

Elyria, Lorain, Brunswick, and Willoughby.

MANY DEADLY MEDICAL ERRORS " As many as 98,000 Americans still die

each year because of medical errors …. according to the study in The

Journal of the American Medical Association, reported in USA Today

Newspaper

" Medical Errors Still Claim Many Lives " May 18, 2005. We deserve the

right to complain and not be banned.

Not held accountable. Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and

Metro each receive millions of our taxpayers dollars yearly in

Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, but government allows them to

ban you for any complaint. Corrupt politicians don't care.

They know hospitals won't ban powerful people like them. Hospitals

are not licensed in Ohio. They fund political parties.

CLEVELAND CITY COUNCIL PROTECTS HOSPITALS – NOT PUBLIC, by failing

to enact this needed law. Lawyer FRANK

JACKSON became Cleveland Mayor January 2006. He blocked this

proposed law by telling City Council to not introduce it, while he

was City Council president the last few years. City Councilmen Joe

Cimperman, Zach , Polensek, Dona Brady and Pat Britt all

refused to introduce this legislation. Brady wrote a letter stating

said don't introduce it. He only got elected mayor because

he spent over a million dollars, fooled the voters, and Jane

was lame.

Councilman Britt chairs City Council's Health Committee.

She claimed Cleveland cannot enforce it as her false excuse to not

support this law, despite receiving two letters from a staff

attorney of the State of Ohio legislature in Columbus (Ohio General

Assembly) clearly explaining that Cleveland can enact and enforce

this law. Councilmen know that if they introduce this legislation,

hospitals and doctors in Greater Cleveland can find and finance a

candidate to defeat them in the next election.

More proof Cleveland can enforce this law. Cleveland ordinance

375.08 prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants for

complaints. Cleveland city law chapter 231 regulates abortions in

hospitals, proving Cleveland can regulate hospitals. The Ohio

Nursing Home Bill of Rights, Ohio law 3721.13 prohibits nursing

homes from retaliating against their residents who complain.

CITY COUNCIL , PROVEN ENEMY OF PUBLIC. It does not permit residents

of Cleveland to speak at City Council meetings.

Yet the dozens of other cities in Greater Cleveland permit their

residents to. But Cleveland City Council disregards the public it

pretends to serve, keeps Clevelanders shut up and avoids being

questioned in public this way.

PLAIN DEALER CENSORSHIP ON THIS. The Plain Dealer stated in writing

that it refuses to publish any public meeting announcements about

this issue, and refuses to explain why. It protects its big

advertisers, hospitals. BOYCOTT PLAIN DEALER.
