The progressive narrative about guns, law enforcement & incarceration does not really make room for the fact that gun homicide deaths in America are vastly lower than they were 25 years ago.
I realize we disagree about whether private or public health insurers ever have, or would ever act on, incentives to reduce spending on care. Not persuaded that we have conclusive global data, drawn from a large sample size in consistent conditions, proving that a non-issue.

In Oregon, they literally collect and publish data from *everyone who requests PAS.* This might be an inadequate sample size, but if it is, that shows that no sample size is adequate, given the relatively small number of people who request assistance in dying.

The link you sent dealt with a few hundred cases, which is hardly a powerful enough dataset to negate what we already know about human nature & institutions & how both behave.

I can’t say for sure that either state or private insurance won’t limit care for any medical circumstance in the future. I’m just making the point that PSA is a much different set of circumstances—legally, logistically, culturally, sociologically—than suicide.
