This is my main issue with AS.

Why should someone die just because they can't afford treatment or housing or anything? AS should only be for people who choose because of reasons other than affordability.

If someone can't afford treatment we should just pay for it instead of letting them die.

Yes, it would definitely reduce the double whammy of suffering into poverty. It should still be available for humans who don't want to linger in pain.
