There are many seniors in Florida who have specifically directed in their living wills that feeding tubes SHOULD NOT be used in their situations.

I would hate to see a law that would impose across the board insertion of feeding tubes on ALL patients, even though they had made the decision, in sound mind, and legally certified, that they would not want one.

The moratorium appears to deal with "hearsay testimony" cases where the family does not all agree. The governor has to act. And then the governor can only call a 15 day halt. This will not affect the "living will" people at all.
