And from reading the memo, I think this is really the point -- who the patient wants (or doesn't want) to come in should trump a hospital's "family only" rule. As I read, it does no more than say that if a patient wants a companion to whom he or she is not legally married or in a civil union with to come be able to visit, the hospital can't say "No, family only."
I can see some concern about the federal goverment being involved to begin with, but I can see the other side, too.

This. (Only I don't think this even rises to the level of an executive order).
