90% of vegatative patients on medicare
I have heard due to their costs being so high their health care plans eventually max out. Congress cut medicare just after their grandstanding over forcing care on a single vegatative patient. Might be a point the left should to focus on to show the hypocracy of the right

2. Let's send the bill for vegetative care to "Focus on the Family"
and the "Family Research Council" and see how long they continue to embrace the "culture of life".

I'd bet they would start talking about how natural death is and how it is a part of life and a gift to the suffering.

Tell the Religious Reich to put their money where their mouth is - foot the bill for care of vegetative patients and for fetuses brought to term until they are 18 years old.
