The pendulum of policies always swings way too far to the LEFT.... and then way too far to the RIGHT.
Right now, everyone who wants to open a Hospice center is installing a free cash machine... and anyone faking a Doctor's order can place dozens of people's social security #'s as being in the care of those fake Hospice centers. It's a free for all.
When all the fake centers are shut down, doctor orders are being scrutinized and people are being prosecuted, home health nurses and social workers bailing out of the scam programs... there will be few legitimate people left, and those who really NEED Hospice are going to have a hard time getting help. Government paperwork will go up 5 X what it is now for simple things.
The pendulum can never stay in the middle area. It was the same with insane asylums, or drug policies. It's always too far one direction, then swings too far in the other direction.
It's already hard for people who need it to get help. Busting the fraud doesn't require any more paperwork, just audits of the existing stuff. They've gotten so sloppy with it in California that it's like shooting fish in a barrel once real audits start to happen.
As long as the fraud busting happens in a drip drip drip, there will be no shock to the system and the money saved can finally start going to the people who actually need it.
