    • Conroy is an exception to the norm, in the sense that the court established procedures specifically for the nursing home setting; however, the substantive principles developed in the case did not depend on the setting of care. See In re Conroy, 98 N.J. 321, 486 A.2d 1209 (N.J. 1985).

    • Again, some exceptions exist. For example, Judge Blackmar, dissenting in Cruzan, stated: The absolutist position [to continue treatment that extends life] is also infirm because the state does not stand prepared to finance the preservation of life, without regard to the cost, in very many cases. An absolutist would undoubtedly be offended by an inquiry as to whether the state, by prolonging Nancy's life at its own expense, is disabling itself from extending needed treatment to others who do not have such dire prospects. See Cruzan by Cruzan v. Harmon, 760 S.W2d 408, 429 (Mo. 1988).

    • California has enacted a statute to protect physicians from termination in retaliation for acting as an “advocate for appropriate health care for their patients.” See Cal. Bus. &Prof. Code § 2056. This statute was based on legislation developed by the American Medical Association. Similar legislation was passed by the Texas legislature, but was vetoed by the governor. See PR Newswire, “Statement of the Group Health Association of America on Veto of Texas Physician Protection Legislation,” June 18, 1995.

    • For a review of such a situation in another context, see Duggan v. Bowen, 691 F. Supp. 1487 (D.D.C. 1988). In this case, the court reviewed an agency action in which the definition of “part‐time or intermittent” home health care was altered, through a transmittal letter to intermediaries, to exclude part‐time care if given over more than five days per week. The Department of Health and Human Services routinely denied coverage for more extensive home care services, but routinely granted coverage on appeal to its highest level of appeal.
