I haven’t seen the movie, but her getting treatment is not any indication that it was or was not payed for and I sincerely doubt they spoke about the financial repercussions of receiving care in this kind of movie or what sort of programs or benefits might offset some or all of the cost.
Did somebody with accounting at the hospital enter the room and say “your treatment is all covered, no problems” and everybody clapped and cheered? Or does the mere mention of a hospital send you into a flying rage?
There’s a story line about how her sister/guardian has to do 3 things by the end of the week - including getting health insurance - or she’ll lose custody. Lilo almost drowns before her guardian gets health insurance and gets taken to the hospital. The social worker says that the state will cover the bill, if the sister gives up custody.
In the future, you should probably watch the movie before commenting - especially when you make an intentionally inflammatory comment about someone “flying into a fit of rage” at the mere mention of a hospital.
Thank you for adding that context. All children in the state’s custody are automatically enrolled in an approved for Medicaid in the state of Hawaii, which covers up to 10 days before the application was submitted or up to 3 months before the application for those requesting long term care.
So the movie is 100% accurate with the information you’ve provided.
We’re discussing whether or not the scene in Lilo and Stitch live action is realistic. If people had listened to me and voted for Harris then they wouldn’t be actively gutting what little medical coverage we have as we speak. If enough people voted blue we would have universal healthcare over a decade ago.

You see where thats the problem right? Why should kids be in the states custody? Wouldn’t it be nice for them to just… get it?
And don’t say we can’t. Plenty of other countries do it just fine.
