Comer's healthcare platform also argued for implementing medical review panels
James Comer's healthcare platform would implement medical review panels.
Occurrences
Evidence
"We will actively promote the enactment of legislation establishing medical screening panels for the review of all medical liability claims in Kentucky."
"James Comer was elected to Congress in 2016 to represent the 1st Congressional District... He currently serves as the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability."
Assessments
Comer’s 2015 Kentucky gubernatorial healthcare platform promised to promote legislation creating medical review/screening panels, but the evidence does not show that the policy was enacted or that Comer, after leaving that race and later serving only in Congress, materially completed the promise himself. With no fulfillment and no clear later-term delivery attributable to him, the claim is not delivered.
The promise was part of James Comer's 2015 Kentucky gubernatorial healthcare platform, but Comer did not become governor and therefore did not have an executive term in which to implement medical review panels. The available evidence shows the promise was made, and that his subsequent public office was as a U.S. Representative rather than Kentucky governor. There is no evidence that Comer delivered the promised Kentucky healthcare policy through legislative or executive action.
