I don't know and it isn't relevant.

It may not be relevant to the moral question, but it is always relevant to how much and what kind of care a person gets.

You and I will never get the same care that the wealthy get. A homeless down and outer will never get as much or the same level of care that this woman already has received.

If these folks didn't make plans for her expensive care, they may not have any say in how much additional care she gets from welfare sources.

Take me, for example, my care in a serious medical situation will be limited by the financial resources I can bring to the table.

I will never have the luxury of getting as much medical care as this woman already has reeived.

Now, tell me that doesn't matter.

The research I’ve done on feeding tubes indicates that the cost is only a few hundred dollars a day, this is very minimal by health care standards. Additionally, patients can usually be taken home and their families can do everything (a nurse just needs to check in a few times a month). There is NO REASON that any person in the US should die of starvation and dehydration.
