FYI
It was reported six months ago by all of the local News affiliates that the parents had offered the husband all of the money (which I don't how much it is) if he would simply divorce her and let them take over custody. He refused, just like he has rebuffed the other offers of money.

Not for sure but her husband was granted (hearsay) $10 million to care for her for life thru a settlement. In '93 he refused her parents any money and so the battle began. He has a new wife/partner with two kids, When his wife dies, balance of money remains his. Medicaid/medicare doesn't apply here. Accident was in 1990. I say justice is to legally divorce, transfer funds to parents and let them handle situation!From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2005 3:34 PMSubject: [QUAD-L] Terri S- and her feeding tube

My only point is that Terri is more alive than anything in a petri dish.
Terri is alive and reactive. But what is more important is for those
thousands of people who are surviving with G-Tubes (feeding tubes) and are probably
wondering
if the government allows just one person to die, they all risk the same
actions if Medicaid or Medicare should ever run out of money.
Today, many state governments are now closing mental health wards in their
states and sending residents to other locations, as a means to save money and
budget cuts.
What will be the next step. Kinda scares ya ..... doesn't it?
