Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis

My intention was to highlight how the wealthy elite (which includes the PM, the monarchy, and many UK politicians) do not personally experience just how broken the NHS is.

If our monarchy and politicians had to go through the NHS for their medical issues then I imagine a lot more work would be done to improve the NHS.

Instead, the Conservatives are trying to destroy the NHS. And this is shown by how cancer treatment is becoming increasingly inaccessible (depending on class divides, where those with power in our country are able to more readily access treatment).

The point is ultimately that we shouldn’t continue to let the wealthy elite represent us, because they do not understand our experiences.

None of this is new information of course, the situation that the article features is just a good example and reminder of this.
