Can/Will a beneficiary collect on a life insurance policy if they instruct the hospital to not treat their spouse for a condition that will evolve into a life threatening / fatal situation, but is at the outset treatable? What if someone else holds a Healthcare Power of Attourney for the beneficiary's spouse and did not authorize the withholding of care? |

What if someone else holds a Healthcare Power of Attourney for the beneficiary's spouse and did not authorize the withholding of care? Why is the hospital listening to someone who has no legal authority to authorize/prohibit treatment? Why isn't the sick person speaking up for him/herself? If (s)he can't, why isn't the POA raising hell? |
