Where are you getting your figures? Have you taken in to account that her "husband" and Felos squandered the money for her care and should (IMO) be held accountable for misdirecting the original intention of the funds?
She was *not* being rehabilitated. Perhaps if she had received the care that her sobbing lying POS of a husband had promised to provide for her, she could have been home long before the cost of years of neglect accumulated.
But wait! She couldn't have gone home to her "loving husband"....his girlfriend and their child might have found that unacceptable.
All the medical expenses from day one have been taken from the settlement, even the medical insurance companies are entitled to reimbursement. That includes the first stays in ICU, any trauma care, tests, etc. Then there is the original malpractice attorney's fee, what do they get 30% or more? Over $800,000. was paid out in the first year after receiving the money, that put her at $500,000. remaining. With care costing $10k/mo.(?) in a semi-quality care facility and still no hope for rehab or further funding things must have looked pretty bleak for Terri.
The quality of care would diminish even further when the malpractice money was gone. Medicaid level facilities exist on volume not quality care. The husband had a choice to make for Terri, remaining time in an asylum like care facility or do what he has determined is a better alternative. I'm pretty sure it's been established that he will not benefit from any remaining malpractice money, because it will be gone.
