Washington, D.C. — The American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) applauds the U.S. Supreme Court for reaffirming the principals, tenets and protections afforded to individuals under arbitration. The Association commented on the high court’s refusal to review a Texas Supreme Court case decision that holds that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) preempts the arbitration enforcement provisions in the Texas Medical Liability Act (TMLA).

“We are pleased the Supreme Court subscribed to our view that arbitration is a viable option for ensuring that families can seek the remedies they want and expect if they’ve been wronged,” said Mark Parkinson, President and CEO of AHCA/NCAL. “We feel strongly about the value of arbitration, and we will continue to support it aggressively.”
