It’s not an exaggeration to say we are literally paying for Medicare (dis)Advantage’s wastefulness. They cost us more money and provide worse care.

The Hospice Hustle
Half of all Americans now die in hospice care. Easy money and a lack of regulation transformed a crusade to provide death with dignity into an industry rife with fraud and exploitation.
