Assisted euthanasia is legal in some states. Should be legal in all.
I think it should be legal for all adults, no questions asked.

Canada has it by province.

There is absolutely 0 reason a drug like insulin should be expensive. It is nearly 100 years old with only modest improvements since. This is pure corporate greed. I honestly think the government should take over all production of some types of off patent and critical medicines just so stuff like this is avoided. It ends up costing the taxpayers even more money for something that should cost $0.20.

That's what I'm suggesting. Get the US middle class to pay a huge amount of taxes and we can have national health care, too.

No they dont. Its mandated by the federal government in all provinces. Its not like one province has a US system and other provinces has universal health care.

Yep, and some provinces don't provide coverage for prescriptions.

You're just parroting your old debunked talking points as Germans do not pay very high taxes to fund health care. $4000 per person per year for their national health care system which covers everyone. We pay $10 700 per person for our current system. Thats the crux of the matter.

why do you believe so? They cover some things but not others. By choice. Provincial parliaments are elected.
