I don't follow the author's logic. They seem to assume anyone choosing MAID has been failed by the healthcare system. While that's certainly possible for some of cases, every single person eventually reaches a point where their health is failing. Many know in well enough advance, and in Canada you can choose to decide when/how to end things.

The health care system can and should be improved, but there will always be people choosing MAID regardless. We should use a different measure for how to improve healthcare, and not falsely correlate MAID as a failure metric.
