The Economics of Dying -- The Illusion of Cost Savings at the End of Life
Open accessAbstract
For more than a decade, health policy analysts have noted -- and some have decried -- the high cost of dying1–7. With the acceleration of pressures on health care costs and calls for reform, considerably more attention has been focused on proposals to control costs at the end of life8. One proposal would require persons enrolling in a health care plan to complete an advance directive9,10. Others would require hospitals to establish guidelines to identify and reduce futile care11–13. Similar ideas have been expressed by members of President Bill Clinton's Health Care Task . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
