Here is the problem ....
‘‘(5)(A) For purposes of this section, the term ‘order
14 regarding life sustaining treatment’ means, with respect
15 to an individual, an actionable medical order relating to
16 the treatment of that individual that—
17 ‘‘(i) is signed and dated by a physician (as de18
fined in subsection (r)(1)) or another health care
19 professional (as specified by the Secretary and who
20 is acting within the scope of the professional’s au21
thority under State law in signing such an order, in22
cluding a nurse practitioner or physician assistant)
23 and is in a form that permits it to stay with the in24
dividual and be followed by health care professionals
25 and providers across the continuum of care;
1 ‘‘(ii) effectively communicates the individual’s
2 preferences regarding life sustaining treatment, in3
cluding an indication of the treatment and care de4
sired by the individual;

The “order” that goes along with your medical records.
There doesn't seem to be any requirement that the patient see it or even know it is there.
So .... some “dr” signs off .. and so do you.

It does say the order should indicate the patients preference, but I don't see that as a requirement .
Do you?

The Congress is more than willing to let DEAD voters stay on the registration rolls.

They are more than willing to accept the votes of these DEAD voters.

NOW-—they wanmt to kill us off earlier than God plans for us, and they will be more than willing to use our names and votes on into the future!!!

Bill Ayers has contributed to this idea... I am convinced of that!

My brother in law has severe Aphasia, due to a bike accident. He is severely disabled (for now). Once tidbits like this get out in the public realm, his wife might have to take those Obama stickers off of her car. They are in for a rude awakening.
