Of course she would have been. Cancer is, after all, a priority. The people who end up waiting are the ones who have non-life threatening conditions. Like a gall bladder that needs to be removed. And naturally anyone who can or wants to pay can go have the work done at a private clinic.

I lived in Italy for more than 20 years. By and large, the healthcare system works. And nobody gets bankrupted in the process.

Our healthcare system has failed. It's just too damned expensive. Treatment should be a right, not a privilege.
