10. Could euthanasia or assisted suicide be used as a means of health care cost containment?
Yes. Perhaps one of the most important developments in recent years is the increasing emphasis placed on health care providers to contain costs. In such a climate, euthanasia or assisted suicide certainly could become a means of cost containment...........

.......For example, the Oregon Medicaid program pays for assisted suicide for poor residents as a means of "comfort care."(40) In addition, spokespersons for non-governmental health insurance plans have said the coverage of assisted suicide is "no different than any other covered prescription."(41)

Legalized euthanasia or assisted suicide raises the potential for a profoundly dangerous situation in which the "choice" of assisted suicide or euthanasia is the only affordable option for some people.
