Euthanasia a matter of money?
If an old and not well old man (such as 180 is) wished to die on his own terms I ask why not?

He would not waste away unloved unwanted at a per-diam of hundreds or thousands of dollars until his money is gone at which time the money grubber do gooder might (Almost certainly) say we got it all and now we let him die. (Maybe even push a little on the sly)

His estate would not be eaten up by evil do gooders thinking of his available money and nothing more if he were allowed to chose?

Given the choice I would prefer the inevitable death to come fast and painless so that my family childern might benefit from my life's efforts.

How might this affect insurances, estates, liabilities, retirement plans and other such important things.

180

1. When the payments stop to health providers....
...the patient is discharged. And I believe that Medicaid will dispose of all of a patient's property and assets and when that is gone, they will instruct the health provider to stop all care and allow the patient to die.
