Plain and simple: Hospice can no longer claim the higher moral ground that it eases the sick and dying (we are all dying). When so many chapters are hooked into insurance providers and euthanisiacs have infiltrated their centers and their boards, it is time for an overhaul or better yet, a complete investigation of the inner workings.
Insurance companies pay them. Insurance companies pay hospitals. Hospice is less expensive.
What is your alternative to hospice for a terminally ill person?
So very comforting to allow those we love to die without pain and suffering, isnt it? Comforting for them (I guess) and for those whose lives are inconvenienced by approaching death.
I don't know where this rant came from, but a member of my family was at my dad's side every minute of every day, since he was in his OWN HOME.
You've got a burr under your saddle about hospice. AFAIC, it's a wonderful alternative to dying in a hospital.
