I paired this news analysis with a review of secondary literature (primarily from health economics and public health) focusing on studies done since 1982 on the impacts of the prospective payment system on hospital financing and the use and cost effectiveness of hospice. Finally, I apply the idea of palliative space-time to these contradictory J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f changes, to reveal a death-focused logic at work in US health care today and consider what alternative possibilities exist. PST is useful for understanding the implications of those two legislative changes of the early 1980s: the callous palliative state of the health care system, with the care-full service of hospice.	./cache/cord-311558-1y6z8qso.txt	./txt/cord-311558-1y6z8qso.txt
