The debate is in GD, and the rants are in the Pit.
I just want a few facts.
Who is paying the medical bills in the Schiavo case? Has the payer changed over time - say party A until 1993, then party B until 1998, then split among parties C, D & E?
Bump. I’m also interested.
Who’s paying for her care?
Schiavo resides at a nonprofit hospice that has assumed part of the cost of her care. Medicaid pays for the rest. According to this AP story, keeping her alive costs about $80,000 per year, and at least $350,000 of the malpractice settlement awarded to Schiavo and her husband in 1992 has been spent on her care. Florida Medicaid normally offers hospice coverage for those with a life expectancy of no more than six months, but Schiavo has received assistance from the state for the last two years.
