So, it really depends on your POINT OF VIEW.
If you are the HOSPICE you keep them alive until their MEDICAID/MEDICARE runs out.
If you are their inheritors, you want them to go quickly before all the money is given to those who provide their 'care'.
If you are a lawyer, you don't care live/die, but what your client is paying you to do.
Unless you have an agenda. Like FELOS.
That's the beauty of Medicare and Medicaid. It NEVER runs out.
