Advanced directives are not “death panels.” The patient, especially terminally ill patients can use them to declare that they do not want to be kept alive by artificial means. They are voluntary and have been around for years. Please do not confuse the two.

When he mentions the $$$ savings we all know what that means.

People that know what a NO CODE is no how it USE to be determined. In consultation with the family etc.

The advance directive while it has good points, is a license to bypass family. That is unacceptable.
