How so?

Terri Schiavo's wishes are unknown and undocumented. What we do know
is that there is a credibility issue with both the husband and Terri's
parents.
The Court is making a ruling on conflicting testimony, or "heresay"
evidence.
Since documentation of a living will is non-existent, the Court's
should rule on the error of caution, siding with the preservation of
life. With the lack of concrete evidence, there's no turning back on
any other ruling.

Priceless! We are not in the position to decide and never will be.

Regardless, I doubt that it would.
As to the costs of healthcare, insurance only takes it so far. Then
it is the cost of a civilized society that picks up the remainder.
More than likely, the only good that will come out of this is public
awareness of "living wills" at the expense of Terri Schiavo's life.
