It would certainly improve their turnover and therefore their profits.
One major condition of hospice is that a doctor determines you are terminal within six months. Terri does not meet that condition and never should have been in a legitimate hospice.
I don't think that Hospice started out this way.

Remarkable. The actual and God awful truth of the whole situation from the DEVIL'S ADVOCATE!
(If I may be so presumptuous as to call a scheming, death cult lawyer the Devil's advocate).
i wouldn't believe in a million years that being starved and dehydrated to death was terri's "wishes". BRAVO SIERRA.
Thereafter, the responsibility of hospice is to make the patient comfortable during his or her final days. They also provide services which allow stressed out family members to rest from constant caregiving activity. My hospice nurse was wonderful. She even stayed with me for several hours after the death of my loved one just so I was not alone and helped me make arrangemnets with the funeral home. I don't know what I would have done without her or our little CNA. Yes, I would imagine that there are people with questionable ethics involved in hospice (obviously Felos is one of them), but I would recommend hospice for anyone in their last days.
Deserved or not, their association with Felos and the death merchants of the "right-to-die" movement, will not improve their image. I'm beginning to think of them as death camps for the disabled.
And another killer whale is loose in society.
Hospice, or at least the idea, is NOT part of the "right to die industry." That "hospice" in Florida is not working correctly, unless they were under the impression that Terri would die in the usual allotted time.
There's something fishy about that facility. Wonder who owns it, who is on the board of directors, and who funds it?
My experience with hospice has been positive. They help terminal patients and their families with the death process in a very caring way. Their purpose isn't to help prolong someone's life and has never been advertised as such.
This was underscored to me when my father-in-law was in the end stages of cancer. The hospice workers came to the house to talk to the family. We were considering using an alternative treatment to try to prolong his life. The hospice workers said they would not accept him in their care if there were attempts to prolong his life.
