Next year's expansion of the criteria for medically assisted death will allow Canadians like Lisa Pauli, whose sole underlying condition is mental illness, the choice to die in this way.
Absolutely. It’s becoming the replacement for actual care and support, legalized, a coerced, slow-moving genocide of the mentally ill and disabled because not even “socialist healthcare canada” (as idiot Americans call it) wants to support people who can’t churn the cogs of capital.
What is funny about the US is that if you can’t turn the cog of capitalism, healthcare is free. Being very poor is really baller for treating your horrific medical conditions. So is being old.
I’m an able bodied worker who has to worry about medication to keep at bay my murderous condition only because I can work. If I just quit my job and was willing to live in public housing and all my bullshit, all the stress of treatment would actually go away.
I have no idea why Americans are against expanding Medicare when poor people already get it. Why would they want to deny themselves what they’re paying for anyway by virtue of not being able to have it.
Canadians: “We need more and better funding for healthcare, especially mental healthcare.”
Canadian gov’t: “Sure would be cheaper for us if you just fucking died.”
Like, I am in no way against MAID, but the expansion as to what qualifies for it is starting to scare me. We already have a case of a woman seeking MAID because it was easier than finding affordable housing that accomodates her disabilities.
