A federal appeals court issued an order affirming U.S. District Court Judge Moreno’s ruling refusing to require arbitration in the landmark class action lawsuit filed by the nation’s doctors against the leading healthcare managed organizations (HMOs), Plaintiff’s Lead Counsel Archie Lamb said in a press release.
“The nation’s doctors are once again on track to present the unconscionable actions of the HMOs to a jury in Miami. We are confident that the overwhelming evidence of this long history of abusive contract practices will present a compelling story,” Lamb said.
Lamb anticipates that the Order will allow the case to continue with the current trial schedule set by Judge Moreno. The trial is scheduled to begin in Judge Moreno’s Miami courtroom during the first week of March 2005.
