On this episode of the podcast, Roger Foley, a 49-year-old Canadian living with Spinocerebellar Ataxia, shares his harrowing journey through Canada’s healthcare system. Foley reveals the shocking inefficiencies and mistreatment he has endured, from physical injuries caused by incompetent home care workers to the emotional trauma of being pressured into assisted death. He contrasts Canada’s lack of self-directed home care funding and disability rights with the protections provided by the U.S. ADA. Facing a staggering $1.8 million in medical bills and legal challenges after a dismissed case, Foley calls for urgent systemic reform and highlights his ongoing GoFundMe campaign.
