I would suggest that, just as Canada decided they had to remove the “reasonably foreseeable death” criterion in response to a court decision, they’ll find some financial pressure in the future that forces them to expand MAiD programs. It’s likely to sound less like “we ought to kill some people to save money” and more like “here’s a great revenue-neutral idea for expanding access to the important MAiD program”.

If handing out lethal injections is considered to be no big deal, I don’t see how the Canadian healthcare system could avoid these pressures. You can’t make just one deal with the devil.
