If you think "a profit motivated middle man" is bad, take a close look at the Canada health system. M.A.I.D. (assisted suicide)
"In 2024, 5.1% of people in Canada who died received MAID."

"Medical System Savings: A 2020 estimate suggested that MAID could result in a net reduction in healthcare costs, with a projected $62 million in savings."


I'm not sure why you're unhappy with that. It seems very reasonable that one out of twenty people would find themselves in a position that they wouldn't want to continue with expensive treatments that won't prolong their life. A treatment that allows you to lie in bed at home, etc., and watch TV is worth considering, but not one that leaves you in a hospital waiting for the next emergency, etc. 5% seems a reasonable for people who decide to end their lives.
