IT LOOKS LIKE “UNIVERSAL” SUFFERING, YES:

In the UK, between 9/2024 and 8/2025, roughly 79,130 names were removed from healthcare waiting lists because patients died before getting care.

28,908 had been waiting longer than the 18-week standard, and 7,737 had waited more than a year.

Does that feel “universal?“ https://t.co/ysRn3zjEp1
