Publisher's Synopsis
Healthcare for the elderly and disabled is increasing with baby boomers turning 65 who qualify for Medicare. In 1983 Hospice care for senior citizens with terminal illnesses began receiving funds through Medicare for end-of-life care. Hospitals no longer are required to treat old people who are in hospice. Hospice only gives comfort care, no curative care for their ailments. Family have been reporting that their loved ones were illegally euthanized. County, state, and federal agencies are ignoring the problem since dead people don't cost Medicare anything. I lost a loved one who did not have a terminal illness. This book tells what is happening with Medicare, hospitals, doctors, and hospice.
