Hospice funding rules threaten care for the dying
Washington critics argue that proposed Medicare rules under HHS gut Hospice Care by using a lower base figure for six months of hospital care and classifying hospice backup units as nursing homes. The Washington Hospice Center reports a 316 dollar daily cost versus 57 dollars allowed, threatening home based and center backed care. The dispute centers on expectations from Rep. Panetta and Secretary Heckler amid broader debates on end of life treatment.
