The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

Extremely expensive medical services won't improve with more government money thrown at them. Cancer treatments are as reliable as politicians' promises. Taxpayers want value for their money.
It would be a short and boring show in Canada. Man gets cancer, man goes to hospital.

Cancer treatments have advanced dramatically over the past 10-20 years.

RINOs and DINOs seem more trustworthy than hardcore partisans. I like moderates who join parties to work but are ready to bail when the parties become batshit.
Ignore all these haters, Cherno. I love your mad libs posts! I mean just yesterday I was walking down the street and had to stop to admire the simplicity in a Stop sign and I thought, “Did I stop for a stop sign?” I rubbed my tummy and burped out loud. It was then that I realized the real cause of the Franco Prussian War was a confusion in the phases of the moon.
 
Canada pushing suicide as healthcare is all over the internet. Conservative sources will be automatically dismissed here, so this is one at The Atlantic, archived past the paywall.
Dude, all states withhold treatment for the terminally ill and the elderly when needed which is essentially MAID. Have you ever sat beside someone who has had treatment withheld? You starve them and withhold hydration. It takes 7-10 days for someone to die that way and it isn't pleasant. I hope you never have to experience it because it's heartbreaking. If I could have saved my loved one from the indignity of dying slowly and painfully I would have jumped at the chance.
There are strict regulations regarding MAID, decisions aren't made lightly.
 
Good lord. Did you read the article and see that it is completely unacceptable for the VAC to recommend MAID? Just a FYI Canada practices preventative medicine. There are regular screenings for cancer, readily available vaccines, a decent Food Guide, access to a primary caregiver and soon dental care for families making less than $90,000 net income depending on how many dependents there are.

Gauthier, who competed in the 2016 Paralympic Games and the 2016 Invictus Games as a para-canoeist, told the committee she sent letters detailing her experiences to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay. A spokesperson for MacAulay said Veterans Affairs is taking the issue "very seriously," while adding that providing advice on MAID is "not a VAC service."

"Our employees have no role or mandate to recommend or raise it. Considerations for MAID are the subject of discussions between a patient and their primary care providers to determine appropriateness in each individual context," Erika Lashbrook Knutson, press secretary for MacAulay's office, said in a statement to CTV News on Friday.

MacAulay's office also told CTV News Veterans Affairs took actions to ensure this doesn't happen again, such as issuing a directive ordering all employees to "not provide advice or suggestions to Veterans on the issue of MAID" and implementing mandatory training.

When asked about Gauthier's experience being offered MAID, Trudeau called it "absolutely unacceptable."

"We are following up with investigations, we are changing protocols to ensure what should seem obvious to all of us, that it is not the place of Veterans Affairs Canada … to offer them medical assistance in dying as a matter of course," he told reporters in Vancouver on Friday. "The issue of medical assistance in dying is a deeply personal one. It is a deeply difficult one for individuals and families to take on at an extraordinarily challenging moment in their lives. And something that we have to ensure is gotten right," Trudeau added.
