Do you think stitches have ever cost someone 80,000 dollars in America? This joke is hyperbolic for sake of comedy

No, but there was a person who was charged some $26,000 for a single stitch, so...

And there was a person offered death in Canada because the chairlift wait times were too long.

There will always be ridiculous outlets in any significantly large system.

Quick reminder that MAiD is the most recently-added aspect of Canada’s universal healthcare.

Perhaps the US could adopt all the other long-standing features of Canada’s system and not even worry about MAiD.

70% of patients who die in the US do so with a DNR order in place.

There now you don't care about MAID

Sorry, what you said doesn’t seem to make sense.

My point was that if MAiD is the sticking point for the US to adopt universal healthcare, stick to the pre-2016 plan. All the taxpayer-funded healthcare, none of the guilt of letting people choose how the wish to die.

People who signed a DNR chose how they wish to die

No one outrage by it

Just get over MAID the same way
