Reasons for paying attention to the healthcare system
If you don't have your own personal reasons for considering the immediate and long-term concerns of the American healthcare system, consider these from an interview in the New York Times. A notable and accomplished physician discusses the current medical culture, the President's proposals for change, and aspects of our healthcare that all of us should think about. A prominent topic of the interview is the discussion of advance directives for medical treatment at the end of life.
Key words:
advance directives,
family,
health care,
hospice,
power of attorney
