Life and death
Even as the US House worked late into the night to prevent a court from honoring the wishes of a woman who wants to die, state legislators were trying to force the courts to allow the state to kill other people faster and were maneuvering to gut Medicaid so they don’t have to pay to keep poor people alive. Here are your pro-life lawmakers at work:
U.S. House acts to save Schiavo
Bill would halt court's ability to reject law
Medicaid reform bill shaping up in House
Ironically, if State and Federal lawmakers are successful in their attempts to thwart her wishes, their cuts to the Medicaid program could end up killing Terri, who is now indigent and has her medical bills paid by the state.
(Fixed the headline - thanks.)
