[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is the state going to be responsible for that astronomical hospital bill?

The fetus?

The woman's family?

She was a nurse. Why wouldn't her health insurance company be paying? Her baby would be covered, too.[/quote]

Insurance policy would not necessarily cover months of sustained treatment for someone who is brain dead, as legally, that person is dead. Most insurance policies would not cover this, per google.

Whether insurance covers the fetus separately is also legally questionable. Typically the baby is added by the parent AFTER it is born, as the birth triggers open enrollment. As the mother is now technically dead, they may not be able to add her under the mother's policy. Probably noy, honestly as that policy would be discontinued. The father could take out a policy at birth.

But as GA has a "personhood" clause for an unborn fetus, I am unsure how that works - does that mean parents pay for the fetus as a separate person starting in pregnancy?

What a mess. [/quote]
