A rural hospital kept my grandma alive 10 extra days to milk Medicare for the maximum allotment. There is nothing American healthcare won’t do to make a buck

But your parents have control over hospice arrangements. The only thing a hospital can legally in most states do once you decide to let her die is to sedate if necessary and cut off food and let the body shut down.

What gives you the idea it was a conspiracy?

Wow, if you knew anything about how shitty our system is to dying people and their families I suspect you wouldn't be sealioning someone in GP's position.
