Are you trying to make money out of this sad story?

A poster wrote that her account was charged $1.95 many, many times.....insead of once.

Any comments?

This is an entirely different pettion. You have to print it out sign and mail it. I wouldn't start a new thread on the same thing. This is free. All it takes is a little effort.

P.S. I do not profit financially from anything on FR. I responded to the person who had the problem and asked them to let me know if the overcharges are straightened out. Besides, petitions cost nothing to sign. Faxing them is where the problem was.

This petition will cost you .74 cents in postage if you mail one to Ashcroft and one to the Justice Dept.

Correct me if I'm wrong, slimer .. Terri is now on Medicaid, a Federal program. According to Federal regulations, Federal funds cannot be used for assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing. Terri is in a Hospice, another Federal program that is in place .. if the patient is deemed terminally ill and is expected to die within six months.

Something's not right here .. have you looked into this angle? The Federal courts sent Terri back to State, saying they have no jurisdiction, but under the Medicaid program, doesn't she come under the protection of the Federal government? Does anyone know where best to raise this issue?

By the way, this information has been given to the family ...
