Your Health Care: Who Will Decide When You Can’t?

One of the major problems with health care today is that you, the patient, very often have little say in what care you receive. When you are unable to speak for yourself, the problem gets worse.

On this Life Happens podcast, hosts Lou Pierro and Peter Strauss discussed how to make sure your health care wishes and end-of-life choices are carried out. Peter has written extensively on these topics and is a pioneer in the field of elder law.

He and Lou answered these and other questions:

• How do you make sure that your health care wishes are honored?

• What documents should you have?

• How should you communicate with your physician, family and future health care providers so that your wishes are always followed?
