Idea to reduce health care expenses if the ACA is eliminated

[Catgirl64]

It never ceases to amaze me how many people fail to recognize satire when they see it.

This thread may be relevant again - should we give people the option?

While this is obviously satire, yes.

I often say that I fear the financial implications of my cancer relapsing more than the potential for death. Even with insurance. Even in Massachusetts. But I'm also young and that would impact my decision. If I was older than, say, 40 or 50, especially if I had a family of my own, I would prefer assisted suicide to being a drain on my family's finances. That's only worse with the current administration's healthcare proposals.

No one should ever have to feel that way, but hey, this is America.

I agree... I think I would feel similarly.
