I fight to #EndAlz!
This isn’t politics. This is people.
People who are dying.
People who deserve dignity.
These cuts won’t hit headlines — but they’ll hit families hard.
Hospice isn’t a partisan issue. It’s a moral one.
Let’s act like it.

According to MedPAC, around 20% of hospice patients require intensive inpatient or crisis care — much more expensive than the daily reimbursement covers.
More cuts = more corners cut.

Hospice providers are already stretched thin.
🧾 The CMS FY2025 rule caps per-patient payments at $34,465.34/year, with a 4% penalty if reporting requirements aren’t met.
Add 6% sequestration, and many small/rural programs may not survive.
