Canadian solution is the best. Old people should be euthanized because they are costly and do not contribute to society. I never heard a good rebuttal to this, only name calling, argumentum ad Hitler, and appeals to tone (like saying it's edgy). What's edgy is forcing productive young healthy.

My understanding is that for the wide majority of them the costs are covered by treaties, which obviously isn't the case for Afghans and that's partly the UK's fault.

Not him but this sort of argument is so incredibly stupid. It's not like the UK is some roaming tribe that goes around invading and colonizing other countries. No one benefits AT ALL from wars of aggression and exploitation other than a handful of rich cosmopolitans and politicians; these people are widely hated by everyone else who just want a happy life wherever they live.

That meme exaggerates how bad it is. In the UK, if you needed stitches and went to the A+E, you'd get seen in a couple of hours (as they triage based on need). Google says the cost of uninsured is $165 to $415. Idk and idc about canada.

Read what I say next very carefully. I'm not going to read retarded replies.
The UK currently has the problem that the government wants the NHS to continually improve productivity/£. This is somewhat like a business.
However, there is a limit to just how productive the NHS can be. You can't magically cure cancer with 10% less resources each year. Doctors and nurses aren't magically going to have their cost of living drop 10% each year.
Consequently the current government model is going to fail.

In the US the problem is that healthcare is a very profitable business. People value their own lives much more than a business will value their life. So it's extremely easy to sell insurance at a mark up.
Furthermore, there are plenty of americans who get absolutely fucked by medical costs. Something like 5% of the US population accounts for 50% of the US healthcare expenditure. Hospitals realize they can recoup costs on non-payers, by overcharging insurance companies. And the profit seeking motive leads to the ever increasing charges sent to insurers.

I don't know how the US can fix their situation because no one really wants to cut out insurance middle-men or institute medicare/medicaid for all.

I don't think there is a solution for the UK other than bootstrapping economic growth, so that taxation can actually cover the NHS costs needed to operate well. Which I don't think will be done because education/training is getting worse, and housing/cost of living is out of hand. Plus more and more boomers are entering age for huge healthcare costs. And the UK is growing too slowly, so less immigrants will come her to keep us afloat. UK will end up as Japan 2

This assumes the NHS is actually in trouble, which globally I don't think is true.

Artificial scarcity by boards of medicine. Don't get me wrong, not just anyone should be able to give you medical care, but the minimum skill gap between 70's graduates and current graduates is criminal. Then there's the whole 4-8 years of residency.

The fresh graduate has likely done more studying than the current 20 year experience doctor by a huge margin. This margin goes down when the older doctor has to go back and study one class or two, but still, new guys are getting stuffed with the new shit before they can start their residency.

Not to mention they're actively constantly pruning candidates with bullshit classes like O-chem. Now, on paper, O-chem and it's consequences are w/e, but you have to admit that it's stupid because most of what they teach isn't relevant in application because what they teach in O-chem is in a minority of chemicals. It's a waste of time, you get more out of biochem.

Why would the Board of Medicine do this? To keep doctor count down, so that prices stay up.

That's a morally loaded word from religion as you're using it. Legally, murder is defined as the unlawful killing of an individual which state authorized euthanasia could never be.
As proposed, the state conducting euthanasia on the elderly is not murder because 1) it would not be unlawful since the state sanctioned it and 2) the state is not an individual.
Hence it is not a fact nor was it a sufficient counter argument in the first place.
As for procreation, the costs of subsidizing old people and end of life care is a burden incurred to younger generations. Healthcare expenditure for 65+ was 4 trillion dollars in 2022. That is such a large sum of money that could be used instead for $1000/month subsidiary per child and there would still be money to spare. You are the antinatalist.

You might want to look at the data on that. They are extremely underrepresented in NHS staff in comparison to the general population. Only Indians buck this trend.

Or, more accurately, the UK has a patient excess. Shipping in a higher proportion of patients to doctors (which again, is exactly what the data shows) can only make the situation worse.

Can’t speak for the other countries but in the USA, the student loan program has allowed every useless fuck in the country to become doctors. So now we have all these mostly useless physicians with “plug and play” quality of critical thinking skills and each with metric shittons of debt with usury levels of interest rates applied daily. Then add to that the presumption of medical insurance and the ever present threat of malpractice suits. This gives doctors the motivation to charge astronomical prices for mediocre service.

You are a machine. A barely complicated bio machine. Everything that ails you is repairable through engineering. Everything. All the solutions have already been invented, prototyped, patented. So, then, why does your "civilization" fail to repair your diseased soul encapsulating machines? To keep every flesh shell in a perpetual state of health?

Primarily 1.): Extremely difficult economic factors, to industrialize and scale solutions from conceptualization to market(we cannot even feed every person; developing personalized gene therapy for each individual is impossible until quantum computers become common place(10-20+ years, so eventually but will happen way faster with actual world wide support, instead of the many parasitic industries syphoning away funding)).

Less so 2.): Persistent cult like dogmas that infect most proto religions and ideologies, insisting death is inevitable, should not be fought against, god would punish you for extending life without its permission, etc(this was mostly being defeated by feats such as landing on the moon, pushing mankind from childhood into an adolescence where it would be responsible for its own advancement via science, instead of relying upon the good will of god, but now we have retards that think the earth is flat).

Much less so 3.): Rich "people". The ones that behind closed doors see you all to be of no use more than minimum wage flesh automatons. The ones that see you as temporary and consumable objects, barely sentient beings that can be of further use, at end of life, recycled into fertilizer; cheaper versions of roboticized labor, without all the immense danger of A.I. rebellion. Too blind, or too afraid, to see the potential in you all becoming benevolent, immortal juggernauts in the coming space civilization, they interfere with the creation of utopia as suicidal children, but are only temporarily misguided and may be converted to good.

It is an honor to be of the last generations that will experience death.

This is false. The young healthy people are the ones getting completely shafted when it comes to subsidizing old folk and receiving no care for themselves and suffering with no insurance or $8000 deductibles. They wait for HOURS in the ER because grandma is feeling sick and they take priority over your whiplash. Your entire premise is false too. Society is completely broken as is and nobody is chimping out. The hypothetical described would actually have meant a better world and better life for all parties and the old people would support it without much contest and likely applaud it with those trillions of dollars instead having been used to make life better for them earlier not when they're decrepit with failing organs and rotting brains.
