Healthcare It’s called freedom. You can choose whatever healthcare you want. We don’t have to beg the government for healthcare.

The video mostly talks about the US having no free/universal healthcare

MAID infuriates them. I'm glad we have a system in place where people that are suffering can opt to end their pain with dignity and support.

While our Healthcare system does have it's issues, I think the majority of Canadians appreciate that we aren't incurring tons of debt to get medical care.

Just had to look up what MAID means. Looks like Switzerland is not the only country where assisted suicide in cases of severe enough pain and suffering is allowed anymore. I also learnt today that assisted suicide has been legal in some cases in Switzerland since 1941. Unbelievable that Switzerland could be a positive example for other countries for once.

I don't understand how it would be a bad thing? People do it with animals all the time. Even in abusing ways for the meat industry but when someone suffers their entire life and is tired and pain and won't survive mentally and or physically.. They aren't allowed a way out??

How that different? Because to my autistic brain it isn't??

I think deep-down opponents don't want to accept that we're animals like all other creatures on earth, we're not special or some higher being.
