If they really want to care for her, they will.
Why do you assume the STATE must step in?
I see ... another one hooked on the government will make it better. Entitlement minded ... so sad.
Because the STATE does step in for cases like this.
I'm sure the family has lots of health professional give them the spiel how their daughter could the best care at a local institution. The family does not need to worry about cost since the STATE will help pay.
Its not an entitlement but the STATE must ensure it provides for all its citizens. What do you think happens to people like their daughter when the family dies or can no longer take care of them?
And I say you are wrong, wrong, wrong. They want to continue to be able to care for her. She won't know how tall she is, or how much she weighs, and won't, and cannot, care. Nor does it matter. What DOES matter, is that she be able to be kept at home with people who love her caring for her, as long as possible.
You really need to rethink your position on this.
Why can't you just admit, for once, that you're wrong...
