Lana Barnes, Surrogate in Futility Dispute, Convicted of Medicaid Fraud

Lana Barnes was the surrogate in the most famous medical futility case in Minnesota.  



She insisted on non-indicated treatment at many Minneapolis area hospitals before one hospital challenged her in court and had her replaced as her husband's substitute decision maker.  



Last week, Lana Barnes was convicted of Medicaid fraud in connection with her husband's care.
