Yes, and guess who fought to get it?????
Felos...AND, as soon as it was passed....he and Schiavo filed the petition to starve Terri.
That's because Terri was his TEST CASE.
Felos had successfully arranged for some of 'his' doctors to evaluate over 150 patients as TERMINALLY ILL. He had them moved to the Suncoast Death Clinic and submitted claims to Medicare.
Some of the relatives had gotten second opinions and it turned out none of these patients was terminally ill. It was just a SCAM that allowed FELOS and the HOSPICE to rake in over $14 MILLION. The Dept. of Health and Human Services filed notice for return of the false Medicare claims and FELOS has filed appeals to keep it out of court until after the TERRI SCHIAVO situation is over so he won't get bad press.
FELOS was having OLD FOLKS killed so he could profit, but it wasn't enough.
He wanted to be able to KILL people of ANY AGE if he could find a reason.
Michael had taken Terri to California for some experimental Treatments.
Not of his own accord, but at the behest of her parents, and if he refused, he would look bad, so he did.
As soon as he could, he declared the whole thing a failure and took Terri back to Florida.
FELOS heard of the case through the news and saw his Hopes become reality. Here was a perfect case. Greer recommended FELOS to Michael, and the whole thing has been one BIG CIRCLE JERK with MICHAEL,FELOS, and GREER ever since.
