Oh boy. I can’t wait for people who bray about public health being a failure while ignoring steady defunding over decades. I’m really sorry, my friend

It's classical liberal method of manufacturing consent for privatisation in sensitive departments, first defund so it can't work properly then privatise when people complain it don't work properly. They do the same thing for retirements, insurances, education, transport, basically everything they can't outright sell because they fear people would protest. In especially postsocialist countries this happens all the time.
