Maurice will be appearing on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric tonight which airs in most places from 6:30-7:00 pm ET to discuss legislation that would permit medical malpractice claims against the military. The congressman is seeking to reverse an injustice that prevents armed service members and their families from holding the military accountable for negligent health care. The bill is called the Carmelo Rodriguez Military Medical Accountability Act of 2008, and is named after the late Sgt. Carmelo Rodriguez of Ellenville, New York, who died of skin cancer last year after a series of extraordinary mistakes made by military medical personnel.
