I feel compassion for these families however Terri has been at that hospice longer than anybody there. Why choose that hospice when the case has been in the news in Florida for years. Why not ask the hospice to move a non terminal patient like Terri to the proper facillity since it is really illegal for her to be there and get federal funding for it.

Not implying that you in any way meant it, but the term "proper facility" made me think of those "facilities" used in somewhat recent history to dispose of certain "undesirables"..

Just to improve on your ignorance, it's been partial funding by the hospice (along w/Medicaid paying for the drug costs) that has been picking up the bulk of the tab for Terri to stay there, so don't knock them too much. They've been very good to her.
