Makes you have to wonder about the assisted suicide debate, either way.

What does that even mean? Am I missing something, or is that a serious non sequitur made worse by the 'either way'.

He/she is implying that Doctor's want to keep people alive so that they can bill them for services rendered longer and make more money.

Or conversely, once the caregiver is in the will the patient is toast.

yes, it highlights how assisted suicide will not worsen the problem, as it exists just fine without it.

but there is not talks about medical accountabilityq and transparency, which is the solution to the root issue, making the talks on assisted suicide frivolous. but i guess solving problems does not win votes.
