Talk:Healthcare proxy

message: It seems almost as if it was written by actual humans. Forgive me if I'm not quite correct, but is it not normally the case that there are no personal pronouns such as "you" in articles? Possibly I'm wrong, but just found it a bit odd. And the whole "x is NOT y" phrase, with capitalising the "not" and everything. --69.120.126.219 (talk) 00:52, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

message: "An advance directive is a legal document in which you state how you want to be treated if you become very ill and there is no reasonable hope for your recovery. Although laws vary from state to state, there are basically two kinds of advance directives.
1. A living will is a legal document in which you state the kind of health care you want or don't want under certain circumstances.
2. A health care proxy (or durable health care power of attorney) is a legal document in which you name someone close to you to make decisions about your health care if you become incapacitated.
You can have both - a health care proxy naming a person to make the decisions, and a living will to help guide that person in making the decisions.
In order for your advance directive to be useful, it has to be available. After all, your advance directive won't do you any good if no one can find it."

thread_title:  living will vs. health care proxy 

message: "One state’s advance directive does not always work in another state. Some states do honor advance directives from another state; others will honor out-of-state advance directives as long as they are similar to the state's own law; and some states do not have an answer to this question. The best solution is if you spend a significant amount of time in more than one state, you should complete the advance directives for all the states you spend a significant amount of time in."

message: I've added the "disputed" tag, though what I really want is a "factual accuracy" tag, there being no dispute with anyone.  The article makes broad statements that are not true in all jurisdictions, and... well, there's really too much to list here.  I've removed the worst, such as the statement that anyone over 18 can be an agent, which is patently untrue in many jurisdictions.  EEng (talk) 21:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
