Keeping for-profits out of hospices in New York State: A moral imperative

Keeping for-profits out of hospices in New York State: A moral imperative 
Mid Hudson News, Albany, NY; 7/28/24 
In recent years, the debate surrounding the role of for-profit entities in healthcare has intensified, particularly concerning the hospice sector. New York State, known for its robust healthcare infrastructure and progressive policies, now faces a critical decision: whether to allow for-profit companies to operate hospices. The implications of this decision are profound, as it touches on the very essence of what hospice care represents—compassion, dignity, and support at the end of life. The New York State Assembly is taking action by introducing Assembly Bill 6032, aimed at restricting the expansion of for-profit hospices across the state and preventing existing providers from increasing their capacity.
