End of Life Care Guidance Aids Costs and Care Focus
The Columbus Dispatch reports new guidance from the American Society of Clinical Oncology urging doctors to lead end of life discussions with patients and families about options, focusing on palliative care and avoiding ineffective, costly procedures. Fewer than 40 percent of advanced cancer patients have realistic prognosis talks, which could improve quality of life and reduce expenses. The Montrose Daily Press notes a bill to end unemployment benefits for households earning over one million dollars, arguing benefits are misallocated. Udall disputes this, highlighting benefits as a temporary safety net. The measure could save over 100 million dollars over five years and curb misappropriation.
