Sometimes I find myself having to explain the concept of community to my dad. I shoveled my block this morning which first of all, was not hard, and also my next door neighbor is a senior citizen, it's a no-brainer. He was like you shouldn't do that, you're being too nice. (1/3)

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

Notably, Canada's MAID has already led to multiple people choosing to end their lives not because their pain was unbearable or their condition was terminal, but because they could no longer afford the costs of healthcare plus the basics of food and shelter.

People already have the right to do what they want with their own bodies - suicide is not illegal.
What so-called "right to die" laws do is legalize the murder of disabled people by healthcare workers, as long as some paperwork is filled out.

Theoretically, everyone deserves the right to do what they want to their own bodies.
But in practice, these laws lead to further devaluation of disabled lives. They invariably lead to people choosing MAID because they can't afford healthcare, cajoled into this cheaper choice by an uncaring system.
