Lmao this is insane 😂 Imagine if they’d invest the money it took this program into things suicidal folks could’ve benefited from to avoid getting there…

@John @Sovereign Being No, it's not insane. It's a good thing.

MAID is *very* cheap.

> In fact, the federal government’s Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer said in a report made public in October 2020 that its calculations showed that, throughout the country, MAiD would save the health-care system $86.9 million in 2021.

ie it basically pays for itself and then some. MAID is not a perfect system, and sure, it could even be more cost-effective/outright profitable. It could be improved but 'make it more cost effective' is the path to all kinds of bad things generally.
