The Cellar - View Single Post - Terri Schiavo's Parents Seek Divorce on Her Behalf

I am just curious as to why Terri was eligible for Medicaid. Does anyone know why? I thought if you were married and your spouse had visible means of support you would be responsible for the bulk of expenses. Or, would have to re-imburse Medicaid.

Michael Schiavo is alleged to have received $1 million of a $2+ million settlement Terri got. But I have also heard that he got only $300,000. I don't know who to believe but I can't imagine that Michael Schiavo is in this for the money.

However, why would Terri not be covered by Michael's medical insurance?

Any thoughts?
