I have a dumb question about this. Are hospital visit rules federally mandated and enforced? Are hospitals private or government run? I would have assumed they are private, so why on earth can’t they make whatever rules they want to about who gets to visit? Would it really be that hard to have hospitals allow the patients to actually get to select what visitors they want to see and who gets to make decisions for them? That should be a pretty basic thing to allow, I would have thought. I find the tenacity of the whole question bizarre in the extreme that it requires a total set of legislation and revamping of humanity just to deal with this issue. But then again, to come up with some simple solution would blow the foundations out from some of the argumentation going on.
