Though there have been abuses, hospice is wonderful for the terminally ill and the costs are very minimal. The “all the money will be used up” line is mainly a scare tactic employed by the culture of death. Also, disability and long-term care insurance is readily available at a very reasonable cost. There is no reason for anyone to die just to save money.
