Hurry Up and Die

If the government is paying for your healthcare, it is in the government's interest for you to die and stop the spending.
Why is that so hard for you guys to understand?
This is not a special problem in Canada or the UK. It is simple budgeting.
Dead people don't consume healthcare. Budget problem solved.
That works in any country, and you don't have to live there to understand it.

Probably explains why the National Institutes of Health are so huge, and such incalculably enormous amounts of money being spent on disease cure and prevention research -- because the government wants all the sick people to die and save them money.

Death proponents point out that between 20-30% of money spent on healthcare makes no difference, because it is being spent at the end stage of life ( last 90 days or so). 75% of Americans die in a nursing home or in a hospital.
I can certainly see the cost savings of euthanasia.

But we're not talking about that. That was me explaining to Copper one possible result if the government got what he believes is its wish to let all the sick people die. This will not happen, because we live in a rational world, especially compared to Copper's cockamamie theory.

As I said - whenever Americans talk about foreign healthcare, they're actually talking about American healthcare.
Canadian life expectancy: 82 years
UK life expectancy: 81 years
US life expectancy: 78.7 years -

If and when funds become finite, what is the better use of money, national defense or Medicare? Public education or Medicare? Infrastructure or Medicare?

Jesus Christ. What does that have to do with the original point of this thread?
I give up. Believe what you need to. Why I persist in debating someone who is less interested in the truth than in having the last word is beyond me.

American conservatives have yet to find a problem that cannot be solved by encouraging people to buy more guns, and I'm sure the dangers of an aging population are no different in that regard.

Copper's cockamamie theory
I said nothing about the government's wishes or intentions, only motivation.
The motivation exists, there can be no question about this.

@Renauda said in Hurry Up and Die:
Okay so the motivation is cockamamie along with your theory.
Not so.
Are there not numerous incidents in history of allocating resources in times of need? Euthanasia can be looked at in the same way...Copper is correct. The motivation will exist.

I seem to recall the motivation in this country being widespread public pressure and support for a law that would allow individuals with hopelessly terminal illness to chose the time and manner of their passing. But what would I know, eh?
Like Phibes stated, when Americans talk about foreign health care topics they are actually talking about US health care issues.
Be my guest, but your definition of motivation is just another in the many distractors you throw out to make sure you get last word.
Go ahead and motivate. Knock yourself out.
Elbows up!

Just because you have spent some time there doesn't disqualify anyone else from posting about Canada.
That seems to be your answer for every post that even mentions Canada. You happen to be inside the border, so what?
And money provides motivation, really, ask any Canadian.
