Doesn't medicare already pay for Hospice care? Hospice help get you ready. I don't see what the big deal is.

As I noted in another thread, MOST lay people die in a hospital whereas MOST MDs die at home. Research suggests very little correlation, if any, between a dying patient's wishes and what actually happens to them.

There's really no one to pin the "blame" on. It's a systemic thing. So, we need to change the system.

this isn't about Hospice care. go back and read the top post. it's about paying doctors to talk to Medicare patients about advanced directives.
