Hospice Costs Drive Shift from High Tech to Care
As National Hospice Month opens, an analysis shows Medicare charges are $426 daily for skilled nursing centers versus $111 for hospice. The piece also notes Pittsburgh voters decide Tuesday on new homes for Steelers and Pirates with potential sales taxes up to $700 million, reflecting the broader debate over public subsidies for sports venues. Mitchard's The Rest of Us appears in November as her first new book after The Deep End of the Ocean, linked to Oprah’s Book Club past selections.
