Gay couple visitation. Who complains first?

Postby Lunatic Goofballs » Fri Apr 16, 2010 4:16 am

Barack Obama is ordering the Dept of Health and Human Services to require that all hospitals that receive federal money must allow broader visitation rules that would allow patients to choose who can visit.

So the question I'm wondering is this: Which public talking head is going to attack this first?

Probably all of the above.

*sighs* And yet we're talking about allowing someone who is hurting, ill, or dying a chance to see their loved one. But instead it's gonna be political football.
To those who feel, life is a tragedy. To those who think, it's a comedy.

Who cares?

I am hardly a fan of "gays" but on the other hand I think any should be able to have their "gay" friend visit them in the hospital if they want. I don't think it's anyone's business but the two guys or girls involved.

It's no real difference from the last President. At least Obama has the decency to give a reacharound. :eek:

If we start letting patients choose who may visit them, next thing you know we'll be allowing them to make informed decisions on their own medical care. (And not some actuary at the insurance agency as God intended it)

I think MSNBC will complain first, or at least get some crackpot to say "burn gays, yea" and then declare him a "Tea Partier."

Hospital I went to, WE got to choose who gets to come visit us. If we get any visitors, we can just tell them we don't want to have visitors today.

Sure, you live in a decadent socialist European country with evil socialized medicine. How long did you have to wait to get you heart transplant, hmm?
