How long do you think, in this era of corporate and government-funded healthcare, it will take the bill payers to figure out that you can bend the cost curve significantly downward if you only offer the Death Pills once a terminal diagnosis is given? 

UniteBluCigMana Rep: "Sorry, that treatment protocol is no longer on the Medicare benefits schedule and we follow federal medical policy. You want to appeal? Ok, so why should we spend $10,000 per treatment to keep you alive for an additional few years?  Authorization denied, but we'll cover the cost of your Nembutal, that only sets us back thirty bucks. Oh, you wanna live? Ok, but it's all out of pocket for you. Good luck finding the doctors, facilities, and drugs you need."

For someone who doesn't trust corporations or the government you sure are eager to give them the power to kill you.

A policy that requires those with a terminal illness to commit suicide or lose health insurance.

Yeah, that'll make it past the legislature.

Requires no, but pays for anything else? Absolutely.

85 cents of every Health care dollar spent in America is spent on someone in their last 12 months of life. You give the payer the option to save that by early termination then they will certainly take it.

Get used to authorization denials on the front and denials for medical necessity on the back end. You're going to die no matter what, so save us all the trouble (and more importantly the cost) and just take the pill already.
