The Texas Alliance for Patient Access is a coalition of doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, health care providers and medical liability insurers. Our goal is to improve access to health care through the enactment and preservation of meaningful medical lawsuit reforms.

Real Reform:
The Right Prescription For Health Care

"The Texas Alliance For Patient Access was a galvanizing force behind the passage of Texas' much-needed medical liability reforms. They did extensive research, crafted good policy papers and new legislation, and successfully lobbied for the passage of a landmark reform bill to protect patient access to quality health care."

Rick Perry, Governor of Texas
