[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your system (I'm Canadian) is all about extracting a lifetime of wealth and handing it over to the elder care "industry." You don't care about seniors in any way, shape or form.  Follow the money - it's always about that.  Here in my province we charge people less than 2K a month for long term care.  We also get vilified by the US media for allowing Alzheimer's patients in the earliest stages to use medical aid in dying.

We don't strip seniors of all their assets and impoverish the spouse.  I don't have any kids and I will choose medical aid in dying and skip dementia so I have more peace of mind than any older American does.  My assets will go to the daughter of a friend who wasted her life in the helping industry earning peanuts so at least she won't be poor in her old age.   [/quote]

I am all for medical aid in dying and would consider retiring in Canada to have that option. I will not do to my children what my parents did to us. I will not turn into a monster. Dementia can be ugly and sadly in my family it turns abusive. I think medical aide in dying is extremely humane. I would love to be able to say proper goodbyes, never turn abusive toward my children and have them left with more assets to buffer them against life stressors like medical bills, paying for college, etc.[/quote]
