Yes, as soon as the Gay Lover enters the hospital and says “I’m here to visit my life partner, etc.” The hospital should get their name and address and send them the hospital bills.

The patient probably did.
Believe me, there will be documentation to cover these situations. An Advanced Healthcare Directive will be signed and in that patient’s chart in order for their “partner” to make health care decisions. As a nurse, all I really care about is whether those forms have been signed, not who their designee is. We Christians know that homosexuality is wrong, but as a human, why would I deny a person to have visiting hours with whomever they consider their “loved one”. Studies show that clients who have support tend to have better outcomes. And I want a good outcome for my patient.
