I'm all for keeping her alive from a Christian perspective. But who is responsible for her hospital bills?

Surely it must be costing someone an incredible amount of money to keep her alive.

Of course not that money is worth someone's murder.. but I can't imagine any life insurance policy would outweigh the years and years of hopsital bills.

Medicaid pays for her.

As I understand it, Medicaid is now paying for her. However, there was a huge award given Michael Shiavo for the express purpose of caring for his wife.

He spent much of the money on Lawyer Felos, and on litigation with the goal of removing his wife's feeding tube.

Terri is now dependent on the state, due to the frivolous actions of Michael S. and George Felos.

All the more reason to let her parents care for her at their home. She shouldn't be in a hospice, and her parents can be easily trained to take care of her. They would be able to provide BETTER care than she's been receiving for the last dozen years!
