Congress and the Senate would make those laws, not the President. Thus this Presidential directive is a good thing, to start getting something done outside of changes laws

The directive doesnt say every homo's signifigant other it says people with power of atty. and people with health proxies

No, it's not limited to only those, it says including those; in addition to "those designated" are to have visiting privileges equal to family." - which most certainly could include anybody's significant other
Quote:
and people with health proxies for people being treated using Medicare or Medicade which are federal programs

No, that's wrong, re-read it: the Presidential directive will apply to any hospital that receives Medicare-Medicaid funds. |
