7. Are they going to pay for all of the medical and nursing home bills?
for all people in comas and persistant vegetative states?

Wouldn't that be a form of public health care? How will they afford these costs, for possibly 1,000s of Floridians, since Medicare and Medicaid are already underfunded? Will you be able to be moved there if your family runs out of money to keep you alive in anither state?

Just last week, someone posted about some hospital out west that was going to unplug someone because they'd run out of money.
