Summary
The HERO Act amends federal law to allow members of the uniformed services to sue the United States for injuries or deaths caused by negligent or wrongful medical care provided at military medical treatment facilities. The bill repeals an existing administrative claims process and establishes a 10-year statute of limitations for such claims, which cannot be reduced by veterans' benefits or military life insurance payments. Claims would be brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act and would apply to active-duty members and reserve component members performing active service.
