Compassion and Choices, in a Dec. 2016 pamphlet, "The Facts: Medical Aid in Dying in the United States," available at compassionandchoices.org, stated:

“There is no financial incentive to pressure patients… This myth is further dispelled by the fact that 92 percent of people in Oregon who choose medical aid in dying are enrolled in hospice care and not receiving expensive or intensive treatment. Therefore, there is no financial incentive to encourage people to accelerate their deaths.”
