Micromanager. Sign of immaturity, insecurity, arrogance, inefficiency. What the tar is the President doing paying attention to local issues when the nation is drowning in debt and joblessness?
An official said the new rule will affect any hospital that receives Medicare or Medicaid funding.
Once the government has you addicted to DC Crack, you are their bit(h!

So what happens when a “gay” relationship comes into conflict with one by conventional marriage? Or three gays claim to be a threesome, or it’s two gays and a horse, or whatever?
This memorandum is not worth the paper it is printed on.
I don’t disagree with this. People in a committed relationship should be able to visit their loved ones in the hospital. Obama actually took one of the bigger arguments for gay marriage off the table.
So now Il Douche is running the hospitals? That didn’t take long...
It’s good to know he’ll be able to visit Larry Sinclair if he falls ill, ain’t it?
This will not sit well with the many religious based hospital groups, such as the largely Catholic Providence system...
Governing by fiat...
What in Bummercare did he hang this EO off of, anyhow? Without a law, this is so much blither.
So boyfriend of three days comes into comotose man’s room. Claims partner status and begins making medical decisions with no written POA, will hospital be liable when comatose man wakes up and asks why treatments authorized by boyfriend were given, when mom and dad should have been making decisions? Can hospital use the Obama defense??
Is this important? Who cares who can come see you in the hospital if YOU want to see them? Does this really need a law???
This punk gets to order hospitals around? Most are getting Federal money from at least Medicare patients. But that’s just reimbursement
Is this really the most pressing problem in the country requiring his attention?
stupid..you cant legislate relationships...duh
How much power does a memorandum have? Also, what hospital stops non-family members from visiting or staying with loved ones? I’ve stayed with friends before (no family in the state). Obama is just grandstanding again.
Yeah, who needs Congress anyhow?

Glad to see he’s governing from the center like the jourbalists claim.
