To the best of my knowledge, Jahi McMath is in a religious-based long-term-care (LTR) facility that specializes in intubated patients. TBH, I don't know if Medicaid or other insurance is paying for her care or if the facility is providing it free on a religious basis.
My MiL was in such a facility for the last couple of months of her life and it was horrible to see her lying there, machines breathing for her, until her poor spirit finally gave up.
Jahi is brain dead, which to me means that her soul has already left her body. She's nothing but a shell being kept alive by machines. My MiL, like Charlie, was not brain dead, but in a body that was deteriorating slowly and painfully. The difference is that MiL was still conscious and did not want to give up her fight. Once she'd had enough of fighting, she gave up and died shortly thereafter. But she had a voice and directed her end of life.
Charlie has no voice. And the people who should be wanting his suffering to end as quickly and peacefully as possible seem to be unable to see beyond their own 'needs'. They are not thinking clearly, at this point I think they are both irrational and probably delusional about this. This is why I think this needs to be taken out of the public arena and all court proceedings done privately. Things need to be said out loud to them, blunt and cruel things, that don't need to be in the public record.
