Canadian Government Saves $136 Million on Healthcare by Euthanizing Citizens, Study Finds

A new study has revealed that the Canadian government’s socialized healthcare system is saving millions of dollars a year by euthanizing patients instead of treating them.

The study found that Canada’s healthcare system saves up to $136.8 million annually that’s to the government’s “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAiD) program.

However, critics are warning that vulnerable patients are being pressured into choosing death over “costly” care.

Many argue that euthanizing citizens to relieve the burden on the government is “heartless utilitarianism” that must be rejected.

The study was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

A “cost analysis of medical assistance in dying [suicide] in Canada” found that the policy saves the Canadian federal government up to $136.8 million every year, the study notes.

“As death approaches, healthcare costs increase dramatically in the final months,” the study states.

“Patients who choose medical assistance in dying may forgo this resource-intensive period.”

The report was based on projections using data from Belgium and the Netherlands.

In those two European nations, assisted suicide has been legal for over two decades.

“Medical assistance in dying” (MAiD) in Canada was legalized in 2016.

The authors of the report claim they “are not suggesting medical assistance in dying as a measure to cut costs.”

However, they “suggest that the savings will almost certainly exceed the costs associated with offering medical assistance in dying to patients across the country and that the inclusion of medical assistance in dying in the services covered by universal health care will … release funds to be reinvested elsewhere.”

The report also claims that euthanasia will shorten the lives of 60 percent of patients, mostly suffering from cancer, by one month, and by one week in 40 percent of cases.

This new study the globalist eugenics agenda that is emerging in the West.

Citizens are increasingly being viewed as a drain on resources.

As Slay News has previously reported, influential globalists, such as leaders of the World Economic Forum, frequently describe members of the general public as “useless.”

It should come as no surprise, then, when globalist governments push euthanasia as a means to relieve the “burden.”

Either through direct policy or indirectly through denial of funds, patients will suffer as a result and feel pressured to choose death, or simply be given no other alternative.

The push for “assisted suicide” is now also spreading to other countries around the world.

The UK government is now also considering plans to legalize “assisted suicide.”

Like Canada, the UK also relies on a taxpayer-funded socialized healthcare system.

It is vital that politicians and the public heed the warnings coming out of Canada and reject the horrific trend towards death as a solution to the challenges of care.

A Canadian cancer patient was recently granted assisted suicide within two days after waiting weeks in vain for chemotherapy.

His widow later stated:

In 2022 alone, there were 13,241 state-sanctioned assisted suicides in Canada.

Meanwhile, the province of Quebec saw a 54 percent increase.

Following several potentially wrongful suicides, an official memo warned doctors to respect the limits of the current law.

Numerous horror stories have emerged from Canada.

A growing number of military veterans suffering from PTSD are now being offered “assisted suicide.”
