Sec. 80. Effect on construction of wills, contracts, and statutes. (a) No provision in a contract, will, or other agreement, whether written or oral, that would determine whether a patient may make or rescind a request pursuant to this Act is valid. (b) No obligation owing under any contract that is in effect on the effective date of this Act shall be conditioned or affected by a patient's act of making or rescinding a request pursuant to this Act. (c) It is unlawful for an insurer to deny or alter health care benefits otherwise available to a patient with a terminal disease based on the availability of aid-in-dying care or otherwise attempt to coerce a patient with a terminal disease to make a request for aid-in-dying medication. (d) Nothing in this Act prevents an insurer from exercising any right to void a policy based on a material misrepresentation, as provided under Section 154 of the Illinois Insurance Code, in an application for insurance.
