Medicare To Pay For End-Of-Life Talks
12
06.07.2015
Advocates for better end-of-life care expect Medicare to soon announce that it will start paying physicians for having advanced-care planning conversations with patients. The move is likely to revive the widely misunderstood provision that gave rise to “death panel” fears--and nearly sank the Affordable Care Act.
Advocates say they expect it to be included, but they note that it’s no sure thing and that they’ve been disappointed before.
Such a policy shift would come six years after former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s wild charges of “death panels” triggered near-hysteria that bureaucrats might begin to withhold medical care from older Americans.
