We don't know how the Shindlers were going to pay for the care of Terry if they'd been given the opportunity. I have always assumed that they would use thier own resources. Move her into their home and provide whatever was needed to sustain her through the rest of her life. Even still, if they took advantage of programs like medicaid, what would prevent them from doing so if anything? Is it written that one must be of full mind in order to receive benefits? In Terry Shaivo's case, we'll never know, but this is what has allot of people very upset. In cases like this, and in the absence of explicit instructions, if a caregiver steps forward and is willing to contract to take full responsibility, should that caregiver be given the opportunity to do so? This is a question that must be addressed by congress imo.
