People in power (i.e. Tom Delay) are saying that letting her die is barbaric and inhumane. I think keeping her in this state is barbaric and inhumane. If our dog was suffering like this, we wouldn't keep letting it suffer. With Congress stepping in, Terri Schiavo is turning into a political instrument for a certain political idealogy (sp?) rather than her as a person that is suffering.

As for the medical malpractice covering her medical expenses, I heard Sunday on CNN that Terri's family (i.e. parents) are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Right for Life groups. I am sure that's what is paying for her medical bills, especially, now that one can't file for bankruptcy based on insufficient funds to pay for medical bills. Otherwise, we would have heard that she and her parents would have filed for bankruptcy by now after 15 years if they hadn't received the money from the Right for Life groups and malpractice suit. Her insurance policy probably maxed out a long time ago. I would put money on the fact that the money from the malpractice suit has been spent already.
