um... medicaid i.e us taxpayers paid 12 million for this guys care.ok, but if he has 12 million to pay it off, how many other people are spending millions of taxpayer dollars when they have their own resources? if he can afford to pay it back, (his estate) then shouldn’t he?

Calculate it out. The charges come out to $3,197 per day. There is nowhere in this country that receives medicaid reimbursements this high. Hospitals are lucky to collect a couple of hundred dollars and well below the actual costs.

This is a punitive attack on the Plaintiffs.

The math might be fishy, who knows. But again maybe they need to pay a nanny $90 for every $10 that gets doled out for services.

I am quite detached from this, having gone briefly through the belly of the Medicaid beast (a job that lasted 8 weeks until the boss decided I was being too high profile) and understanding QUITE how crazy it can be.

Suffice it to say there is a lot of potential poop that could hit the fan. Yeah go ahead LET them make these outlandish claims... and then explain them. Maybe they and the suers deserve one another.
