Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My companion was forced out of Medicare and into Hospice at the age of 67 without a terminal illness and without his permission just because he had suffered a stroke. He was involuntarily euthanized 49 days later with lethal doses of opioids. I've since discovered this is happening across the U.S. since doctors and hospitals are complaining that Medicare isn't paying them enough to cure old people's ailments. Hospice corporations are thriving from discarded old people and appear to be immune from prosecution of causing the deaths of old people without terminal illnesses.
