Yes, the United States is one of those countries where the poor and starving do not have access to medical care. Fortunately, in the UK, there is universal healthcare via the NHS which, its problems notwithstanding, is still much better for the poor and the starving, and indeed for many ordinary families, than for-profit healthcare as in the US.For members of the Royal family medical health has always been a public passtime. From examination for chastity to scrutiny for diabetes there has always been much ado about health. I am grateful that royals get good medical care. In some countries there is no care for the poor, starving and dying. Cancer is horrible! I would wish it on no person. With early detection, prompt medical care people can recover. I wish the family health and long life.
The Royal Family, of course, has the additional benefit of private healthcare. Both the KIng and the Princess were operated on in a private clinic and, I believe, are also being treated in a private healthcare facility, which is also good for them if they can afford it.
And, yes, cancer is indeed horrible. I have already lost 3 relatives to it and two are undergoing treatment right now. One of those latter two is fighting his second cancer after having beaten another unrelated one years ago. So I can feel what the Royal Family is going through and it makes me very sad.
