[quote=Anonymous]This is why my parent refused hospice care, kept his regular doctors and Medicare/private supplemental insurance even when we knew he was terminally ill. His doctors continued to treat him even though the focus moved away from “curing” to ensuring quality of life, treating infections and managing pain. Hospice wouldn’t have provided him with anything other than an occasional nurse visit. He would have to sign away his right to medical care and who would want to do that if they have other options? If you ask me, hospitals push it as a cost-saving measure (for them!).[/quote]
