Examining the Economic Impact of Canada's Doctor-Assisted Death Policy for the Poor and Disabled

💡 Canada has developed a solution for its poor and disabled population, allowing individuals to request assistance from a doctor to end their life.

🌍 The economic policy behind this solution is focused on combining poverty and disability, making it easier for individuals to opt for euthanasia rather than finding a financial solution.

🤔 This issue raises questions about the responsibility of the state to provide care for aging and disabled individuals, especially when financial resources are limited.

💡 Many disabled Canadians are trapped in a cycle of poverty and despair, with limited access to social support.

⏳ Medical assistance in dying can be organized efficiently, but providing social support for disabled individuals is more challenging.

💰 During the pandemic, disabled Canadians received less financial assistance compared to working Canadians, highlighting the inequality in support.

💡 Inflation occurs when dollars chase goods and services that are no longer being produced by a segment of the population.

💡 Countries like South Korea have implemented policies to keep elderly workers employed to prevent inflation.

💡 With advancements in healthcare and nutrition, people are living longer, leading to a need to restructure society to accommodate the economic impact of an aging population.

📈 The traditional retirement plan of relying on a 401k is becoming impractical due to longer lifespans and inflation.

🌎 Advances in healthcare are allowing people to live longer, but the idea of retiring at a certain age may not be sustainable in the future.

⏳ The best years for many people may be between the ages of 15 and 30, while life after 30 could become economically challenging.

💡 The government is proposing a solution for unproductive individuals to reduce their impact on resources by plugging into a metaverse and essentially living in a coma.

💡 The traditional solution of retirement at 65 or relying on a pension or 401K is no longer viable as people are living longer, and a new solution needs to be found.

💡 Budgeting and emergency funds are not effective solutions for individuals who do not make enough money to cover their basic expenses.

💀 Experts say that in Canada, choosing to die is more accessible than support for people with disabilities due to inadequate access to healthcare and services.
