As I understand it, the husband had been paying for her care with funds from the malpractice settlement, but as of two years ago, Medicare took over paying for her care.

And is anyone else put off by the mother standing in front of cameras, pleading for the life of her "little girl"? Good grief. The woman was 26 when she had the heart attack that resulted in her being in permanent vegetative state for the last 15 years, putting her in her 40s. "My little girl"? "Starving to death"?

Puhleez.
