This is the evangelical Christian myth that is being pushed. Christians do this because they believe there is virtue in suffering.
That is why grandma must choke to death on her vomit while everybody watches and sobs instead of having a celebration of life party with loved ones and then comfortably drifting off to cardiac arrest in her sleep.
All instances that these Christians bring up in Canada where it appears that MAID is being pushed on someone who doesn’t need it turns out to be a nothing story. No one is seriously being sent to their death because they are poor or require expensive care. This is a fear that is being manufactured so that grandma can die painfully. In Christ name amen.
Man I wish it was a nothing story. A friend of mine had MAID suggested to her after she spent only a couple days in the hospital for having a suicidal episode (mental health, long story but she's doing much better now... so why the fuck was it brought up after only two days there?!). Guess that's the result of my province's healthcare being gutted like a fish. Thanks conservative government!
MAID is important, don't get me wrong. People can keep their fucking gods out of healthcare in general. But saying that mistakes aren't being made with it is ignoring a problem.
