Congress’s effect on hospice care
Numerous independent studies have documented the disproportionate healthcare expenditures incurred in the final months of life. Unlike many areas of healthcare, Medicare already has a system in place to reduce these cost while increasing the quality of care delivered to patients and their family caregivers. Encouraging timely and appropriate use of Medicare hospice benefit advances the compelling need for compassionate and cost-effective care at the end of life.
