What would you do if your hospital said they would pull the plug against your will in just 10 days?
For many Texas families, this horrible scenario is REAL.
The Texas 10-Day Rule allows hospital committees to make life-or-death decisions instead of patients and families.
Don’t let this happen to you.
A Texas House committee will consider a bill on Wednesday, April 14, to end the 10-Day Rule. Will you join us this Wednesday in Austin to defend Life?
