there's been an issue with MAID being recommended or encouraged to people who don't want to die, but who have complex chronic illnesses that are expensive to treat. there's been a few really shocking cases of that happening, even sometimes crossing the line into coersion.

It's a morbid joke but 30% of bc residents don't have a family doctor. Maid is being used as a tool to lighten the load on the system.
