Do you or anyone know where I can find out if the Schindler's are asking for tax payer funds to care for Terri if Terri is allowed to live?

I am discussing this with some folks and one person is adamant that the Schindler's are in need of tax payer funds to care for Terri. I had in my mind that they are requesting to take care of her and are not planning to use tax payer funds. Are there any links or articles or statements that will clear this up?

Thanks

Money Evaporating in Terri Schiavo Battle Here is another one Taxpayers, hospice pay for Schiavo medical care

Now I don't know if all of this is all true - but there are alot of Freepers who know more about this than I do.

Hospice care is normally $80,000/year. Since this case has achieved such notoriety, the hospice has agreed to waive most of its costs for care. What this means in practice is that the expense will be passed on to other patients and indirectly to the government.

Medicaid pays for Terri's medications.

It's in today's Washington Post.
