BTW, did Julia and her mother Estelle pay for the hospice care (for starving her) or did the taxpayers pick up the tab for this starvation?

I tried to find an email link for Julia Gross to ask her but didn’t find one!

******

PAYMENT (for hospice)

What if a patient does not have insurance?

Hospice is a non-profit agency that serves all regardless of ability to pay. Everyone is guaranteed the same high quality care.

How is hospice care paid for?

Hospice is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurances. However, we offer care to everyone in need regardless of their ability to pay.

Is hospice care expensive?

All expenses related to the terminal diagnosis are covered under hospice care.

Going through this as we speak with my mother-in-law. Hospice care only provides daily visits, so we have to pay $500/day for private nurses to be there 24X7.

And yes, it is a gruesome process for sure.

Jane Gross on a blog on the New York Times that seems to be related:

BLOG on NY Times: The New Old Age: Subtitle: Caring for Aging Parents: articles authored by Jane Gross

I guess her way to care for her parents is to starve them to death.

You might find a way to email or ask the New York Times about your question -- did a Hospice pay for starving her mother to death?

Since medicine is socialized in the UK, the answer is probably yes...
