I understand the purpose of this act, and I’m sure there are estate abuses like you say.
Nevertheless, the unintended consequences of this act are no hospitals and thousands of grievously ill people unable to make their own medical decisions wandering the streets of Los Angeles. How is that better?
I believe you need to research further. I like you put it on RR’s shoulders, but if you research this subject you will see it was the will of the people who pushed for it. The abuses of the weak in this way has not ended... it has morphed into other avenues. I myself am personally a witness to this and living through a fight against it.
