I can't help it: I'm forced to politicize Terry Schiavo. The Miami Hearld reports that the Florida Medicaid program (which I assume is headed by Republicans, since it's a Republican state) is cutting off funding for people with feeding tubes, which, as I understand it, leads to death. Terry Schaivo, on the other hand was on a feeding tube, but the Republicans insisted that she be kept alive in her persistent vegatative state until she died of something "natural". I guess, the easiest solution for Michael Schaivo would have been just to move his wife to Medicaid and the State of Florida would have then insisted on removing her food. I feel icky just thinking about this.
