The Schiavo issue

[mousepod]

I haven't weighed in on this one yet, because it just makes me sad on so many levels.

I do have one question, though: does this non-political humanitarian move by the federal government mean that they're going to pass a massive health care bill to take care of all the poor, sick and starving folks here in the US? If so, that's a great outcome to such a difficult case. I'm not going to be so cynical to imagine that they'd only vote on a case to make a statement without costing the Fed a cent.
