[Jordan Hall 1-5] This presentation applies state of the art survey methods to explore differences in willingness to pay for end of life care between community dwelling older adults, cancer patients, and their caregivers and the implications for policy makers. It also explores the role of the physician and treatment subsidies in encouraging individuals to choose either life extending or palliative care.
