I don't have a problem with people getting MAID, but I do have a problem with medical practitioners pushing it on people who want to live but can't get basic resources to deal with very manageable disabilities.

I have a modest proposal.

We ensure that there are thousands more of them, promote them, and ensure that they are rewarded for denying health care to as many people as possible (after collecting money from the victims).

We'd need to do a bit of branding on the whole thing, of course. We would first want to ensure that they are not medical professionals making these decisions. "Adjusters" has a nice ring to it.

We could build an entire industry out of this. And I think if we did all of that, many people's problems with euthanasia would be ameliorated.

Same here. This fucking abomination of a doctor should be screaming bloody hell and knocking on government doors to have them address the problem.

Here we are: rich developed democratic country basically telling our poor to go fuck themselves and die.

Why aren’t you doing this exact thing?
And you know this how?
