I knew about the malpractice suit, but it didn't occur to me that that money was being used. Yeah, odd... Yet again, this is the schizophrenic nature of the political party and our society, more generally. States rights? Federal law? Privacy? Government intrusion? Personal responsibility? Business legislation? We can't make up our minds. I didn’t know that about the hospital bills. I knew about the malpractice suit, but it didn’t occur to me that that money was being used. Yeah, odd…

But, in fairly recent news, something like 13 state courts and 3 federal courts (including the Supreme Court) have told Terri's mom to butt out. So, I suppose we should be happy that the conservatives are consistent about something. I heard on NPR that her hospital bills are being paid by two sources. One, money they received from a medical malpractice suit, the kind the Republicans are trying to minimize. Two, Medicaid, which politicians are trying to minimize. And yet, the Republicans are trying to uphold how wonderful and supportive they are of Terri and her family. Funny.
