Take Action: Congress Should Use Hospice Funds for Hospice Needs!

As negotiations to fund the government continue, Congress must reject cuts to the Medicare hospice benefit. If Congress chooses to extend a faulty hospice aggregate payment cap formula, nearly $1 billion in funds will be taken from hospice care and spent elsewhere. 

As the population rapidly ages, Congress should be focusing funds on improving access to hospice care, not using hospice as a piggybank for other priorities!

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), LeadingAge, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), and the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) are united in their opposition to the use of hospice dollars to exclusively fund non-hospice priorities.
