working in the acute healthcare setting for about 30 years. Thousand of patients everyday have their end of life wishes ignored. Maybe they have signed a DNR document and end up on life support. One thing for certain, these patients no longer have their last wishes carried out. They are at the whim of a system that can charge up their account and then they die. Bet Josephine would have rather not acquired dementia. The bean counters think that people get disease, have trauma, and other health problems to pad their already bulging wallets. Remember, every minute in America a few people go bankrupt because of hospital or healthcare debt. It's the least they could do to ensure the obscene profits of health insurance companies.
