The New York Times reports that legislation before Congress would “knock a hole in the Feres doctrine,” a Supreme Court ruling that holds that “the government is not liable for injuries sustained by military members on active duty.” A provision that would allow troops to file claims against the military over medical malpractice has been added to this year’s National Defense Authorization Act. The measure “is regarded as must-pass legislation, and lawmakers from the House and Senate agreed on a final version on Monday that is expected to become law this month.”
