If you don't want to live that way - all you have to do is write a Living Will spelling it out. Terri did not have that and there was a 50% chance she did not want to die. And, we should always err on the side of life rather than the side of death.

And, dear friend, money is not the determining factor of life. Sure people will die if they do not get to the hospital, do not buy the drugs. But money must never be part of the criteria whereby a decision is made to terminate a life. (Even though I feel it is wrong to make a decision to terminate a non-dying life)

If money is the determining factor - get rid of all charity hospitals, all medicare, all medicaid. And, if you are a libertarian that will be exactly what you wish.

Uh, no. The judge had "clear and convincing" evidence that she wanted to die. You just make this $hit up as you go along? Unbelievable.

"But money must never be part of the criteria whereby a decision is made to terminate a life."

Just arrived on this planet? Not quite familiar with the way things are done here?

We don't quite yet have the socialist country you're dreaming of, but Hillary is working on it. She needs your vote.

So we should keep brain damaged patients alive forever, at no charge? Heart-lung machines, kidney dialysis machines, intensive care, cancer treatments, the whole nine yards?

What a humanitarian you are! What a big heart! You're so wonderful!

(That's what you're looking for, right?)
