Wow at the gymnastics and hoop jumping of that article to try to apply a term that does not match the common fear mongering use of the word or even the situation. Classic clickbait headline.

Care to point out the “gymnastics and hoop jumping” in the article? Canada does in fact have Governmental bodies that can and will over ride the wishes of close family and / or guardians even when doing so will mean someone’s death. In Ontario that body is called the " Consent and Capacity Board.". That isn’t “fear mongering” it’s fact and it definitely matches up with the commonly used idea behind the idiom “Death Panel”.
I don’t need to listen to a 24 minute podcast to learn something that the government of Ontario has already openly talked about.
Lol you want people to read your links while you ignore other people’s links. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. The very definition of living in a self chosen echo chamber of clickbait headlines.
Ehh…I think that’s a little different in that they needed a judge to determine who had the right to make medical decisions for her. The judge themselves weren’t making the call for what should be done, only if it was her husband or parents who had the right to make medical decisions.
This is more along the lines of my appendix is on the verge of bursting. I want it removed. My doctor recommends removal and is willing and able to do so. The govt says I don’t think it’s bad enough yet and if you do it now I will criminally charge you. Wait until it explodes and you are at risk for sepsis before I will allow you to undergo surgery, despite the fact I have zero medical experience.
Imagine having to get a judge to signoff on any other medical procedure, and it really highlights the absurdity.
…this feels a lot like the death panels a certain sect was screeching about back in 2008/2009
Damn, a real world example of South Park’s Blame Canada!
eh?

Canada quite literally does have “Death Panels”. Regardless of how you feel about the UHC debate that part wasn’t made up.

You should listen to the podcast.

Because it’s not a death panel when it’s a corporation that has a financial incentive to deny you
Related, could you imagine having to ask a private, for profit, organization for permission? The same organization that would have to pay money out?
Good thing we avoided those death panels.
It’s not the first time.
