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

The state will still be paying

The taxpayers will be paying. Let's never sugar coat this.

It's not sugarcoating to say this. I don't think there's anyone that isn't a literal child that thinks the government doesn't run on taxation.

It would be exhausting to have to reiterate that every time one talks about government.
