    As a person that wants Canadians to have access to social housing, Healthcare including mental and dental, and MAID this comic does highlight my concern.

    The answer isn’t making it more difficult for people to get MAID. If I recall directly, the existing criteria are pretty reasonable.

    Invest in the other things.

      Right, there’s nothing wrong with the concept of MAID as long as people have all the other options available. However, when other services aren’t funded adequately and people can’t get access to them, then MAID inadvertently turns into a coercive measure.
