Government Health Care?

Like Medicare for All and Government management. The BBC reports:

Key targets for cancer, hospital care and A&E have been missed for over three years - with delays for hospital care and in A&E hitting their highest levels since both targets were introduced. The monthly figures - the last before the election - prompted Labour and the Liberal Democrats to attack the Tories' record on the NHS. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson said "huge demand" was to blame. He said only the Tories could be trusted to have a "strong, dynamic economy" to ensure the rises in the NHS budget being planned could be made....he figures show: 4.42 million patients on the waiting list at the end of September, the highest number ever; 84.8% of them waiting under 18 weeks - below the 92% target and the worst performance since the target was introduced, in 2012; 76.9% of cancer patients starting treatment within 62 days - below the 85% target;83.6% of A&E patients admitted or transferred within four hours in October - below the 95% target and the worst performance since the target started was introduced, in 2004

Namely if one has an aggressive cancer you might just as well go to Amazon and get next day delivery of your Urn.
