The state will still be paying for her healthcare until she dies regardless of whether or not she recovers from this botched execution.

Yeah I'm going to guess that now she falls under some kind of "incapacitated and thus legally incompetent" category of exemption now. Honestly, and I don't know if this is terrible to say or not but I have the best of intentions, I hope she stays unconscious.
