One problem with honoring the "right to die" is that it creates a moral hazard when providing care for someone ceases to be profitable, even (especially) if the person has paid in advance for such care and is thus rightly entitled to it.
If patients who are treated poorly are more likely to seek an "early exit", then caregivers that want to be rid of patients will have an incentive to make them miserable. By what means would you ensure that caregivers make a bona fide effort to keep unprofitable patients happy, thus causing them to live longer and cost more money?

Introduce the market back into the system (what a concept! A conservative one, at that!)
Before anyone says, "the poor would suffer," it should be realized that it wouldn't even have to be a fully monetary market. Even public funding can benefit from a ratings market, with compensation tied to patient-given ratings.
