Assisted Care, Hospice, and the financial soaking of the elderly [View all]

My father-in-law lives in an assisted living facility. He is dying from emphysema and on Hospice care.
His level of care dictates about a $4,000 per month bill for his living facility.
Hospice takes over Medicare which we've seen the bill and they receive about $6,000 per month.

Overall care for him on a 1 through 10 scale I'd rate a 6 at best.
I visit him daily to check his oxygen tank for his wheelchair to make sure it's full among other things.

My point is that for $10,000 per month it just seems outrageous to me.
I think we can do better for our elderly.
