It might be too much of an extrapolation but theres quite an odd cultural phenomenon around death in north america. It almost feels as though people think you deserve to die if you’re poor, get sick, dont currently have benefits, etc. There’s a massive for profit institution obsessed with extracting maximim value from you before you die. If you do, it was your responsibility anyway.

We dont really care about people living, or their quality of life. We care about the metrics sureounding those things, and gaming them to the maximum extent permitted by law.
