>New research suggests medically assisted dying could result in substantial savings across Canada's health-care system. Doctor-assisted death could reduce annual health-care spending across the country by between $34.7 million and $136.8 million, according to a report published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal on Monday.
>Manitoba has set up a Medical Assistance in Dying team (MAID). More than 100 patients have contacted MAID, with 24 receiving medically assisted deaths as of Jan. 6. "In a resource-limited health care system, anytime we roll out a large intervention there has to be a certain amount of planning and preparation and cost has to be a part of that discussion," Trachtenberg said, adding the provinces' differing plans could impact the cost structure of implementation.
>Health-care costs increase substantially among patients nearing the end of their life, Trachtenberg said. The report used Manitoba as an example, where 20 per cent of health care costs are attributable to patients within the six months before they die, despite their representing only one per cent of the population. Patients who choose medical assistance in dying may forego this resource-intensive period, the report said.
so could just not treating people at all and letting them die. Think how much could be saved on food stamps!
You can really judge a country when the pressure all their old and sick to suicide but disdain capitol punishment for murders because it’s cruel and barbaric

Trannies need taxpayer funded surgeries though or they’ll suicide themselves and that’s awful, same as the death penalty. Old sick people deserve to die though.

>Medically assisted deaths could save millions in health care spending
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
so can just flat out killing people after they get over 60 years old op
and then start killing the sick and weak after 50 by denying them expensive medical care
this will happen in the future in US and already happens almost everywhere else on planet earth because health care is so expensive
Canada also recommending boosters every three months

What level of kikery is this: >pay for doctors visit >pay for penis removal >pay for hrt >pay for euthanasia when you wake up Obviously its the tax payer paying.

Said this many times before, under socialized medicine, the state wants you dead because it will save money. This is outrageous considering your not allowed to access private medical care. Canadians are all kinds of fucked up. It's not a free country.

i hope somone will put me out of my misery if i get an incurable brain disease that turns me into a vegetable or if i'm traped in my own body unable to move

I thought universal healthcare paid for itself? Why would you need to save money on something that doesn't cost anything?

What about providing assisted suicide for depressed people? Because that's what I need. I've tried to pull the trigger myself a million times and I'm too much of a pussy.

The problem is modern medicine is increasing your lifespan but not your quality of life.
So now they're literally admitting that socialised euthanasia is a good thing because it saves the state money?
I remember that just a few years ago, suggesting that was their reason for the euthanasia push was a 'dangerous right-wing conspiracy theory'.
Now they just fucking admit it.

>just not treating people at all and letting them die Exactly like they did during the 2 years of lockdowns.
EUTHANASIA AND THE "DEMISE PILL" Everybody has a right to live only so long. The old are no longer useful. They become a burden. You should be ready to accept death. Most people are. An arbitrary age limit could be established. After all, you have a right to only so many steak dinners, so many orgasms, and so many good pleasures in life. And after you have had enough of them and you're no longer productive, working, and contributing, then you should be ready to step aside for the next generation. Some things that would help people realize that they had lived long enough, he mentioned several of these - I don't remember them all - here are a few - use of very pale printing ink on forms that people .. are necessary to fill out, so that older people wouldn't be able to read the pale ink as easily and would need to go to younger people for help. Automobile traffic patterns - there would be more high-speed traffic lanes .. traffic patterns that would .. that older people with their slower reflexes would have trouble dealing with and thus, lose some of their independence.

Is it solely at the discretion of the patient? Do they contact any next-of-kin or is it considered solely between the patient and the medical service?
Is it possible that parents could have some child in college that they don't know is depressed, and one day out of the blue they just get a letter from the state telling them that their kid offed themselves with the help of their local Doctors?

I don't know what to expect, but your scenario will likely become our reality. They usually cover it up using the patients underlying condition, so these ones will be harder to bury (pun intended).
