Comments about ‘Medicare caps are putting some hospice facilities in a bind’

Freeloading businesses that rely on government funding should be out of business. There is no room for freeloaders living and profiting on others health, good or bad. They should be self sufficient without govrnment aid, otherwise they are in it just for the taxpayers money and robbing the elderly of anything they have. It's about time Medicare stepped in and started to control where the money is being spent and who is getting it. These hospices are profiteering very nicely by exploiting the health of the elderly and dieing for as long as they can keep them living.

Obviously you have never had a loved one in need of hospice services. The money provided by Medicare is the only way some people can afford the care they need in their final days and weeks of life. It has absolutely nothing to do with profits for the hospice itself.
