Something wild and expensive that she doesn't really need.... so radiation treatment.

Nobody promised you anything when we left (other than Leave liars) . We are the only ones who can change our lives. This should involve re-joining, as otherwise we will continue to make the same mistakes. The UK has to get over its post-colonial mindset.

While you may have a point in some regards, from your link: "15 Nov 2019 — Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says privatisation has doubled since 2010." New Labour's work on the NHS resulted in vast improvements in resources and services. We might not like that they didn't stick to socialist purity...
