You're getting downvoted, but honestly, I agree with you.

That said, I don't have any actual insight into the process; I was just extemporizing. So if it sounds fucked up, that's because _I_ fucked up and didn't think long enough about circumstances where someone would be approved for MAID instead of offered other solutions. It's entirely possible and indeed likely that if you can't afford medication or treatment, there's options in place to get that to you instead of approving your MAID appointment.

Please don't judge Canada too harshly just because I misspoke. =)

It’s all good, I didn’t take your comment as an indication of how it actually functions in Canada. Just reacting to the implications of your examples
