Oh dear...

Because our health system may be unable to cope.

 In their infinite wisdom - or possibly in an effort to keep their donors happy, who knows - elective surgeries may be at risk.
And our maternity sytem is overloaded, but nonetheless, yep, these delightful politicans (or something)  are going to cut them.

Which just makes so very much sense doesn't it...oh,hang on. No,not according to this which says there will almost certainly be deaths as a result. Whatever can our delightful politicians be thnking of...?!

I have used TM for over twenty years. A lot. In all that time I have experienced maybe a couple of auction withdrawals after bidding on something.
