Another angle we need to check out and get out to public - I believe Hospice's are not, legally, supposed to accept a patient who is not terminal and expected to die within 6 months???

The maneuver is to admit with the stipulation that food and water is to be withheld. The patient will die within 6 mos.

Didn't see this when I posted. Sorry about duplicate. I had read your answer to this query on another thread, and thought it made very clear sense as to how they could get folks into hospice.
