  The Supreme Court rules that the prohibition against MAID is unconstitutional.  Then the federal government "reads in" more restrictive criteria not mentioned in the SC ruling, with the intent of reducing eligibility for this service.  Now the BC government effectively starves access to doctors performing this service by paying them a pittance.
  
  Surely money can't be the issue.  A full MAID service would be only a few hundred dollars.  The cost of prolonging a suffering patient's misery, against their wishes, costs thousands (if not tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands) of dollars.  
  
  84% of Canadians polled favour MAID.  The Supreme Court says the prohibition against it is unconstitutional.  And yet we have government continuing to be as obstructive as possible.  Why?
