Opinions?

The New York State Legislature once again failed to pass a surrogate decision making bill so family members can make health care decisions for their loved ones without being appointed as their health care agent. This means that New York and Missouri remain the only two states without such a law.

What does this mean for you and your loved ones? It means the only way anyone can make health care decisions for someone over the age of 18, who cannot speak or make those decisions for him or her self, is to be appointed that person's health care agent using the New York State Health Care Proxy form.

On health care issues, who will decide for you?

If you read down to the end of this thing, you learn that it is an unpaid advertisement, not a guest editorial. The writers are soliciting business and even give you phone numbers to call. At your request, they will come to your organization and give everyone a pitch.

All that may be on the up and up, but I wouldn't bet your life on it.
