With regard to your ignorance as to the extent of my awareness and knowledge, I'm certain that the benefit of having my spouse an RN in long term care facility management for the past 30 years and two adult daughters who also RNs working in long term care facilities provides me with more information and understanding regarding these matters than most. Having my own advanced directives as well is just icing on this cake.


P. S. And don't be bashful just post those links that you find regarding the "unavailable House Energy and Commerce Committee passed a final version of the House health-care reform package" so as to stop all this "disinformation"!
