Description In the nearly fifty years since hospice emerged in the United States, it has evolved from a consumer-driven concept of humane care for the dying to a mega-dollar industry. In the process, the priority has changed from the intimacies of caregiving to profits for stockholders.Hospice Manifesto: Reclaiming the People8217s Mandate traces that progression, compares the development to other political movements in the healthcare arena, and recommends actions for hospice activists to reclaim the spirit of hospice.That hospice, born of such caring intentions, has now become a cash register for our free-market healthcare system infuriates, saddens, and scares me. I agree: People should know about this and, in knowing, push against this trend. Beautifully written. I love it. 8212Anna Rahman, Ph.D., Research Associate Professor, Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, University of Southern CaliforniaHospice Manifesto chronicles a fascinating and unvarnished historical narrative detailing the promise, people and pitfalls involved in bringing the UK8217s visionary hospice services model to the US. In her firsthand accounting of happenings behind the curtain, Ms. Silver8217s provocative medical memoir recounts successes of the hospice movement to be celebrated while also deftly revealing the political and practical challenges encountered along the way. Her work here serves as a poignant and timely reminder that prioritizing humanism in health care over profit always must be our imperative. A page-turner book. Bravo! 8212Rebecca Kirch, JD, Executive Vice President, Policy and Programs, National Patient Advocate FoundationThis important book shows how hospice8212created by families and activists8212 is becoming just another big business. Susan Silver calls for taking back the movement and shows us how to do it. 8212Bill Novelli, Professor, Georgetown University, Former CEO, AARP, Author, Good Business: The Talk, Fight, Win Way to Change the World
