The biggest question is why the law is specifically about senior citizens?  I am sure that 99% of senior citizens that this law would effect frankly don't give a peep, don't even remember their own name half the time, or various other memory type mess ups.  What I'm afraid of is that some smart senior citizens will try to abuse the new law in order to get back at some doctors and nurses they don't like for some reason.

Before you know it the senior citizens will have a lawyer led uprising as they purge care facilities of staff they don't like so only the people they like remain.  The great purge will devastate the medical industry and plunge the nation into chaos because a care provider was rude to an old person.  This is of course a joke but...it is California after all where anything can seem to happen. :)
