It's a very odd take to think examples of insurance companies refusing life-extending treatment and instead offering assisted suicide indicates a problem with assisted suicide.

Just to be clear: the insurance companies are the problem here; and more broadly this whole for-profit model of healthcare.

It's actually a good and relevant set of examples for the particular type of issue that was asked about. They didn't give any opinions for or against assisted suicide in general.

In the first 2 examples, Oregon Health Plan is arguably not a company. It's run by the Oregon government.
