Conflict of interest? Possible reason why King originally said he would NOT allow Terri's Bill to come up for debate, but changed his mind 24 hours later ... the power of non-stop FReeping.
Interesting ...
It hasn't yet been answered ... why is Terri in hospice, and has been for three years, I believe ... why is she there when Federal law says hospice is for terminally-ill and likely to die within 6 months .. this is the qualification for Medicare.
Notice the subtle change ... hospice could cover the elderly and, if found to be in a persistent, vegetative state, a feeding tube, now considered life support, could be withdrawn and the elderly, though not terminally ill, would die. A whole 'nother industry is being born.
On October 15th, Terri was NOT dying .. on October 21st, Terri IS dying, because her husband had her feeding tube removed. Though she legally was declared persistent, vegetative, she is not .. she's brain-injured. Her parents have been fierce in fighting for her ~ pray God Terri's vindication arrives without undue injury to her mind and body.
