Cancer treatment demands timely and comprehensive care. Metastasis is deadly, often by definition, and as used in multiple venues "delay is the deadliest form of denial".
Now look at the UK National Health Service, the NHS. Cancer Research UK states:
Whether it’s ‘Waiting lists for cancer treatment soar’ in the Express, the Mail talking about ‘Record NHS waiting lists’ or the Guardian reporting ‘Waiting times for cancer care in England longest on record’, the pressure on NHS cancer services is hard to miss. But why are cancer waiting times so important? And, looking beyond the news stories, what do they mean for people affected by cancer? ... Some people face extremely long waits to get diagnosed and begin treatment after referral. These ‘long waiters’ are people who wait more than 104 days (that’s nearly 3 and a half months) to begin treatment after an urgent referral. There is no official target related to long-waiters, but generally waits of this length of time should not occur. This is why clinicians have to review all cases where this happens, to see whether there were any avoidable delays. Worryingly, we’re seeing an increase in the number of long-waiters.Before 2018, the number of long waiters was quite stable at less than 5% of people diagnosed after an urgent referral. But then this started to creep higher. Since 2020, the numbers have increased even more rapidly. We’re now seeing the highest levels of long waiters on record.
Just what does this mean? Well if melanoma is the diagnosis then a log wait is a death sentence, as is ovarian cancer, and dozens of other. As we saw in the Obama plan, and even more so in Hillary Health, the elite want the norms to be treated by their wishes whereas they get different care.
The elites praise the NHS, but not for them, just for you.
