I am very uncomfortable with aspects of this story. While there were 'precancerous cells' that is not cancer and she did not make an informed choice.  Were there other ways to deal with it?

The LNP has been in power since 2013. We have been in a pandemic since 2020. Deduct the cost of the pandemic and the increase in health spending, over than 9 year period, will not have even matched inflation, let alone addressed the population increase in that time (or the cost of new therapies). Ask a primary health care provider how they are doing.  That's the real test.
