Don't know how true it is but heard on CNN that then Gov. Bush of TX signed a law that life support could be removed from Medicaid patients against the family or guardian's wishes. I don't know if feeding tubes were a part of that or not. If so, and the fact that this is only relegated to poor patients where the state would have to pick up the tab, then the whole "culture of life" has just become a big joke. Obviously, life matters only if doesn't begin to cost too much, then the have-nots and outcasts can be done away with. Nothing new here at all.
What would be the difference between this and the Soros/Felos crowd?
Ironically, the issue you mentioned there (I'll assume that everything you've suggested is true) is precisely why the government shouldn't be involved in something like medical care in the first place. As soon as the state starts paying costs like this, human lives become nothing more than financial liabilities that are inevitably going to be valued in purely economic terms.
