I think most people who are interested know about the fact that Terry's parents desperately want her to live. The details of her housing arrangements if she lives, I am not aware of. I assumed she would stay in the hospice where she can receive rehabilitation, something her parents have repeatedly requested.

The fact that he's currently living with another woman, I think is also well known. I, myself, have never heard about paid death squads.

As far as Medicaid fraud, the fact is that states themselves are the biggest perpetrators of Medicaid fraud using what Thomas Scully called in 2003, "Inappropriate Funding Mechanisms". See: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/media/press/testimony.asp?Counter=882

But I don't think fraud is pertinent to this article.

I thought her parents wanted to take her home.

Hospices are not for rehabilitation. They are for terminal patients, with no hope of living.

I had not read the full article as I was unable to access it. I used the term death squad to describe Mikey and Greer and others who seem so set on seeing Terri die. As for fraud it was just an aside to the question about who pays. Since the big concern seemed to be that Medicaid through its taxpayer funding was paying, I just thought I would bring up that there are more serious problems with Medicaid than legitimate patient care payments.
