It is a scam and that needs to be addressed - The hospitals and the insurance companies are engaged in a scheme especially to jack up prices for Medicare and Medicaid.

The nursing home room rates are ridiculous too - When we are with Hospice - Hospice will give the caregiver a 5 day respot one time a year and the nursing home charges Hospice more for a single room than it will charge a private payer - The private payer is $380.00 per day - Utterly ridiculous for the individual and for Hospice too - Hospice is paid for by the taxpayer.

So thankful for Hospice but really - get real on the prices - D.O.G.E. and RFK, JR need to look into this.
