Plus, the taxpayers were not paying for Terri's care, so that element was removed from the decision making process.

In this case, the hospital is being asked to pay for the very expensive care of a patient they deem to be futile. Unless the mother can prove their prognosis wrong, or she comes up with the money, I see no reason why the hospital in this specific case should not prevail.

Terri received Medicaid benefits because Michael Schiavo fraudulently purchased properties with Terri's funds which then put Terri in an indigent category. This was money laundering and since Judge Greer was so bought and paid for, he never had Mikey do a real accounting of Terri's funds. The rest of her rehab money went to death lawyers Felos, Bushnell, Baskin and the ACLU was at Mikey's death counsel's table too.

This was Medicaid fraud at its finest if you consider she was in a terminal six month or less facility for FIVE YEARS not getting any therapy at all because Mikey ordered no therapy back in 1993. Hospices cannot do therapy and they are not licensed for chronic care. Terri was in a bad place for five years without the right treatment.

MEDICAID FRAUD so taxpayers did pay. Mikey and his lawyers made Terri a pauper so they could stick her in a hospice. Finally, when Mikey filed joint tax returns, he didn't share part of the tax refund with Terri. He took it all. Mikey didn't even get Terri's wheelchair fixed because if it was fixed, she could have gone outside, gone anywhere, even into judge greer's courtroom so that the crooked judge and everyone else would have noticed that Terri was alert and aware of her surroundings.

Terri was caged and nobody could see her because the secret would have been out that she was not pvs.

FIVE YEARS IMPRISONED by the hospice, courts, medicaid, DCF, and ACHA systems. Terri would be alive today if they hadn't taken away her Ensure and water.
