I mean it already happens here, people with disabilities who come into the hospital with acute medical flare ups are often medically neglected and left to die unless there is a family member there to advocate for them. It’ll likely only get worse in the future unless some real progressive politics start taking hold soon

you just didn’t notice because they were killing people with disabilities, not “perfectly treatable conditions”
