It’s one thing to be concerned about the problem, it’s another to try to weaponize anecdotes to achieve the aim instead of being intellectually honest and focusing on quantitative data. I’d argue that your position is the “think of the children” position which argues from a place of fear and anecdotes while infantilizing people and removing their autonomy over their own lives. As for incentives, the estimate is that MAID reduces annual spending by ~100 million. The government spends 300B a year on healthcare. You’re not going to get out of this by killing your patients, not to mention that you need productive members in your economy to create a tax base in the first place. I think you have an incorrect analysis of the incentives at play here.
