"In many cases hospice care enables dying patients to remain in the comfort of their own homes, free from unnecessary pain, and surrounded by family and friends."

"As Senator Collins pointed out, most everybody would prefer to die at home, and yet, most die in an acute care hospital or a nursing home."

"Allowing Medicare patients to receive home health services before they are finally homebound, but when it is cheaper and better to serve them at home, ought to be another restriction we can work aroun..."

"The Gosnell Memorial Hospice House provides an alternative when care in the home is no longer possible or sufficient."
