    Yeah, like I thought. As said in another comment there might be some ground where the hospital makes you sign a document to void your rights under that law unless requested. Unless there is a protection from that, anyone can just invert the default choice.

      While I’m sure lawyers have looked at it (and I’m not one), my understanding is that you cannot sign away your statutory rights in most cases.
