Mother was wealthy!
She had a very nice home with pool. Couldn't she have helped with costs?
shareThe pool was only of her or from the other houses too?
shareIf we're going to talk about the real world, if the little girl's father died, the mother would be receiving social security benefits and the little girl could be deemed disabled and probably eligible for Medicaid. But it's the movies, so I believe.
shareUnderstand thanks for the info.

And Medicaid doesn't pay for experimental procedures.
Additionally, Medicaid is need based. With two incomes, they probably don't qualify. Disability only kicks in if a parent can't work because of doctor appointments and need to care for the child. She wasn't blind enough yet. She could still walk around and go to school.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
