Anyone have any idea of the amount of money the Medical Community has made
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 08:23 PM by The Whiskey Priest
Keeping this poor woman’s body alive? It must be way up in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now? Does anyone know the physician that made the first prognosis that led to her being hooked up to a machine? Wonder how much he made over the intervening years? Has the hospital received any awards for the extraordinary care they have given and reveled how much revenue is being garnered from keeping her alive?

If her care is being paid my Medicaid, will Bush’s Medicaid cuts affect her?

1. Her care is paid for by a $700,000 malpractice award that under Bush
tort reform might not have been paid.

There is about $350,000 of the monies left as of the last filing of court papers on this topic.
