Such an important issue. I hope it goes through and survives the courts.

HUGE. Dad has end-stage Alzheimer's and Mom is a stroke survivor with a seizure disorder (due to the stroke). This would be a bloody God-send.

Why did the NYTimes have to NYTimes this by ending the piece with a quote from the dumbass from Enterprise who incorrectly asserts that "many people can afford the care they have with the assets they have, the income they have and their supports from family"? Far more people can't! That's the point!

I’d like to point out the “good for the economy” argument here as so much money gets absorbed in end-of-life care that little gets passed down to help the next generation. This may help with that.
