One of the more politically active health care outlets in the state of Georgia has delivered a cease-and-desist alert to Aaron Barlow, the GOP challenger to state Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta.
In a letter, Randy Evans, the attorney for Jackson Healthcare of Alpharetta warned Barlow that he was dallying with a slander suit for alleging that Jackson Healthcare and its CEO, Richard Jackson, were the mere entity behind Senate Bill 86, a measure sponsored by Beach and other Republicans that would have highly curtailed malpractice lawsuits.
The bill was launched in the month of February 2015, and never moved.
The comments in query were made previous week at the Cherokee County Republican Women’s debate. You can find the exchange on this YouTube video around the 50-minute mark. Beach pointed to SB 86 as part of his fight to curtail the influence of trial lawyers and repair the alleged damage done by the federal Affordable Care Act.
The 2ndsigner on the bill is state Sen. John Albers, R- Roswell, considered one of the most conservative members of the state Senate.
