Terri’s hospice care was paid for by Medicaid because
1. Her husband spent her huge malpractice award himself and
2. Almost all disabled people receive some Medicaid care.
Her parents did want custody but the Schindlers were not wealthy people and it is very doubtful that they could have paid out of pocket for hospice or nursing home care. I do not believe they ever made such a claim. Of course, no company would issue private health insurance to Terri in her condition.
Don’t fall into the trap of arguing with someone who asserts that disabled people should be murdered in order to save the government money.
Respond to that person by saying: “How dare you even suggest such a thing?”
Please don't LIE. He spent NONE of her award on himself. That is easlily proven. Her father however, WASTED plenty of it with his silly court challenges. But don't take MY word for it, go to the site i linked in the post above and read for yourself what her father did through the courts.
Further, nobody was MURDERED.
It seems you have trouble reading the FACTS of the situation, and use emotional outbursts instead of facts to get your feelings across.
LIES do not serve any purpose, neither for her memory, nor respect for her husband or parents.
You can debate what her condition was, and even then qualified professional people do NOT agree with your possition.
She died Feb 25 1990. Perhaps you feel that, despite
the clear evidence that her mind, therefore her being, (the mind is your being, your humanity, your conciousness, awareness of self, your SOUL) that she may somehow have been alive, had awareness of self.
that is your opinion, and no amount of discussion, science, medical knowlage and FACT will change it.
Therefore it's pointless to discuss it any further.
