Unfortunately I don't believe much of those claims. They appear mainly to be propaganda without any basis in truth such as the lie that she is the victim of attempted murder.

WHY would a lawyer pay for the hospice? It is NOT cheap and costs tens of thousands of dollars a year for even the most minimal care. Even a hotel room at $100 per night would be $36.5 grand. What lawyer is going to do that?

I find it disgraceful that there was a malpractice award here to begin with. Such decisions are the principle reasons why health care is becoming unaffordable and are the means by which the lawyers are destroying the ability of ordinary people to pay for it. Prolonging lives well past the point of no return is another reason health care is being priced out of our reach. There simply is not an infinite amount available to spend on such cases.

With no cerebral cortex there is no person just a lump of flesh with a semblance of life.

He's not paying for it, he is on the board of directors there - it's a perk.

My dear - you need an education. Do you know what a hospice is? Do you have any idea? A hospice is NOT a health care facility. It is a place where those who are TERMINALLY ILL are sent to live out the last days of their life with MINIMAL CARE. That's exactly why putting Terri there in the first place was violating that wonderful Florida law that you claim to honor. Do a little research, will ya?

You don't believe that Michael has used the malpractice settlement to pay Felos? You don't believe that Michael is living with and has fathered children with another woman not his wife? What planet are you living on? Guess denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
