Even after her death, all roads in the life and times of Terri Schindler Schiavo lead back to the Attorney George Felos-extolled Woodside Hospice.
Listed under "fundraisers" on the website of Liberty American Insurance Group is "The Hospice Foundation".
The Jerger & Centonze Insurnance (sic) Agency Inc., an inactive company, owns the Liberty American Insurance Group.
The Jerger & Centonze Insurance Agency was established in January 2001 at the home of Michael Schiavo and girlfriend, Jody Centonze, identified as Schiavo’s fiancée for the first time in the obituary of his mother, Clara.
The principal mailing address of the company is listed as 2807 Marrie Court, Clearwater, Fla.
This address is listed as owned by Jodi A. Centonze in Pinellas County appraisers’ records.
Michael Schiavo is listed as a 2002 company director at the same Marrie Court address.
Richard M. Jerger Jr., listed on 2002 company papers as a director, is a stockholder in Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp., which sold 2,902 shares of stock in 2001 for $102,933.
Why would the Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp. buy Jerger & Centonze with a stock and cash deal valued at over $40 million?
Who in the insurance industry would want to truck with a corporation that misspelled its own name--a misspelling that in spite of its place in cyberspace no one moved to correct in three years?

"I become more and more convinced those CAT scans we saw were faked or from another patient. She was probably only moderately disabled. Murder most foul."

THAT makes a lot of sense. Otherwise why wouldn't MS to allow new MRIs, CAT scans, PET scans and whatever anyone wanted, if he was so sure she was so terribly brain damaged?
I agree totally with your other assessment too:
"If she wasn't dead and the parents had her there were just way too many things they could have found out from examining her, even without her regaining her speech."
This is the only explanation that makes sense, otherwise, why not just divorce Terri, let her parents have her and go on with his life.
In 1999 Philadelphia Insurance Companies bought Jerger Company, a holding company that owned two insurance companies, a managing general agent and a premium finance company. Philadelphia renamed it Liberty American Insurance Group, it's headquartered in Pinellas Park. Page 4, 1999 Annual Report I believe the man in charge of Jerger Company was Thomas J. Jerger who stayed with the new company for a short time.
Here is the list of companies that made up Jerger Company: Mobile USA Insurance Company, Mobile Property and Casualty Insurance Company, Mobile Homeowners Insurance Agencies, MHIA Premium Finance Company and Jerger and Sons. Link As of 2000, after the Jerger Company became Liberty American Insurance Group, the companies were named Mobile USA Insurance Company, Liberty American Insurance Company, Mobile Homeowners Insurance Agencies and Liberty American Premium Finance. Link I don't know what Jerger and Sons, the company that listed Jodi Centonze in a corporate filing, was folded into after the purchase.
Documented in various places on FR is the Jerger & Centonze Insurance Agency. I believe the Jerger involved in that operation is one of the brothers...Richard Jerger. Both he and Jodi Centonze have active Property and Casualty and Life Insurance licenses. Richard and Thomas were born in 1945 and 1948. Search Licensed Agents
If you search Florida corporation records of corporate officers and registered agents using the name "Jerger", the entire family appears to be fairly active in various corporations, including the dad, the mom, and various kids.

Based on nothing but pure hunch, this is the type of behavior you see in typical entrepreneur wheeler-dealer types, that are always starting businesses in the hopes that they will pan out, and dumping them when they don't.
I suspect strongly that Michael Schiavo quickly proved himself to be too big of a liability, name-wise and reputation-wise.
What we DON'T see is a pattern of fraudulent insurance claims nor a vendetta against the disabled in order to maximize profits.
I would like to point out in advance that I am outraged by the killing of Terri Schiavo, and would love to find some dirt, but there doesn't appear to be any "there" there.
JMHO.
I blame the judges for bureaucratic inertia and lack of fundamental decency.
Again, JMHO.
Re: "Like rape when there's nothing you can do about it you might as well lie back and enjoy it."
That is sick! Would you tell your mom or your wife to do that?!!
How chivalrous! (qualities such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women.)
Or is is callous? (Emotionally hardened; unfeeling: a callous indifference to the suffering of others.)
LOL...oops! That's exactly the kind of mistake I make when multitasking. Guess what I was in the middle of in between posts. You guessed it. Dishes!
I don't and haven't been able to find it.
Thank you. That looks about like what I had learned thus far. The thing you've added is that the name changed to Liberty American Insurance Group.
I hope Calpernia shows up with a dissertaion on life settlements or viaticals. There is enough fraud in that line of business to satisfy everyone involved in this case, if that is where this is headed. Not to mention the precedent this case sets where a probate judge can sentence a non-dying person to death with impunity, in the face of mountains of evidence of foul play, bribery, shady deals and blatant corruption. Seniors and handicapped in FL should be making plans to move away ASAP.
In my opinion this is how the Social Security problem will be solved. We're already seeing it in Britain, where WWII soldiers were euthanized in masse with only a back page mention in the Telegraph. Scary times, indeed.
Received campaign contributions from Richard M. Jerger, Jr., of Jerger & Centonze Insurance. (Mr. Jerger lived in a different district).
Called his support of Terri’s Law “The Terri Schiavo vote that I made was probably one of the worst votes that I’ve ever done”
Isn't this a big conflict of interest?
It is really hard to accept that these people just got away with one of the most hideous murders of all time. Hideous because it was all so "legal".
Sorry, it was bitter sarcasm.
Richard M. Jerger is from a prominent local family that "made a killing" in the mobile home insurance business
Phila. Consolidated buys Jerger, July 16, 1999
Philadelphia Consolidated Holding Corp. closed on the purchase of a Florida-based group of personal lines specialty insurance companies, a cash and stock deal valued at over $40 million.A commercial lines specialty underwriter, Philadelphia Consolidated bought The Jerger Co.

TERRI'S FIGHT (Daily Thread 2 - November 1-2, 2003) (post 6)
How do you think we should go about checking to see if there was insider trading around the same time that Jerger Insurance being taken over by Philadelphia Consolidated?And shortly before that, Jerger took over a company run by Steve Beaty...how could we find out if there was insider trading on that?
Or are those types of takeovers done in a way that there would have been no insider trading?
I'm not saying that anyone we've mentioned here on FR was involved in "insider trading" (whatever that is), I'm just asking a general question about persons unknown.
Florida Trend, Sept 2000 v43 i5 p16
Beaty, 41, started as an industry outsider with his own company, Micro Business Systems, providing software to independent agents. For Pinellas Park-based The Jerger Co., he developed a pioneering program that allowed it to quickly identify mobile homes by ZIP code and park. Thus, it could grow into the largest independent mobile home insurer in the Southeast, even as it spread its risk so that a single tornado didn't mean catastrophe for Jerger. In 1986, he sold Micro to Jerger and became its chief information officer. When Jerger was sold this year, Beaty jumped to Bankers.
The Jerger Insurance subsidiaries gained Philadelphia Consolidated's A+ rating in after they were bought in 1999.
. In July 1999 the Company acquired The Jerger Company, Inc. for a total purchase price of $20.0 million in cash, 1,037,772 shares of the Company's common stock and a contingent additional cash amount of up to $5.0 million based upon future earnings of the acquired business.Of this purchase price, Mr. Thomas J. Jerger, a shareholder of The Jerger Company, Inc. and a former Director of the Company, [He was Vice-Director of Jerger and Sons in 1998; J. C. was added as Vice-Director in April of 1998, see here] received $6.5 million in cash and 338,404 shares of common stock of the Company. Mr. Jerger may also receive up to a maximum of $1.6 million of the contingent additional cash amount.
Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Jerger for a period of five years and a base salary of $210,000 ("Base Salary") commencing July 16, 1999. Mr. Jerger subsequently resigned his position with the Company effective November 22, 1999 and the Company entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Jerger agreeing to pay Mr. Jerger the Base Salary through the original employment period of five years. The Company utilized investment advisory services from McHugh Associates Inc. of which a board member, Thomas J. McHugh serves as President.
Steven P. Beaty, Bankers Insurance Group
Steve Beaty is senior vice president and CIO ......" Although most of his operations involved banking, he crossed over into the insurance arena, dealing with medical software, mobile home coverages, and even writing a small agency management system that was sold primarily in Florida.
Sometimes it just pays to be in the right place at the right time. When the company he'd sold his business to [Jerger] was itself sold Beaty was starting to look around and Bankers Insurance was looking for a new CIO. He was tapped for the job.
... In its 25th year, the Bankers family of companies includes four insurance carriers, 20 subsidiaries, diverse products and services, and more than 1,200 professional associates. Beaty and his crew support 5,000 active agencies....
