>>>>Mr. Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, said Thursday (10-23-03) that he would continue the legal fight to have Teri's feeding tube removed again. Felos plans to argue that the new law violates Terri's right to refuse medical care. Some legal scholars have said the law is unconstitutional because the legislature and the governor cannot pass laws that would overturn court rulings, nor can they write laws that apply to specific individuals.
Felos also said that the trust fund set up to provide for Terri's care has been depleted to the point where Medicaid money is needed to cover the day-to-day costs in the hospice. Schiavo received the $1 million from a malpractice insurance settlement in 1992. After $300,000 in legal fees, the remaining $700,000 was set up in the trust fund. Felos says just $55,000-$65,000 remains in the trust.<<<<
