And you know what it got me thinking about? These are places with universal health care. Right? And I wonder if, and I hope this isn't true, but I wonder if healthcare practitioners aren't pushing people at the end of life [to end their life] not because it's what's best for that person or the family, but like, just. It's just a mathematical calculation. Am I. It's my reading too, too deeply into a dark human heart burden on the health care system. I think there's validity to that if you look at Covid and the population it targeted and who created that. (49:27–49:44)

CLAIM

Suggests healthcare practitioners may push end-of-life decisions based on cost calculations rather than patient or family interest.
