"Florida is filled with old folks -- they should be marching and wheeling themselves in droves through the hospice doors, for what this portends for them. "

What you forget is that a large percentage of those old folks have living wills all made out, saying that they don't want their lives maintained by extraordinary measures. Why would they march?

I can assure you, the ones I've worked with have no idea that "extraordinary measures" includes food and water.

Just as long as they don't 'drive' there...esp at the same time!
