The only explanation is that the "report" is obviously detached from reality and using massaged metrics to make political points. The NHS is as bad as it gets.

"More than 120,000 people in England died last year while on the NHS waiting list for hospital treatment, figures obtained by Labour appear to show. That would be a record high number of such deaths, and is double the 60,000 patients who died in 2017/18."

Still seems better than the situation in the US

30+ million Americans watched as someone they knew died because they couldn’t afford treatment (https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2019/11/14/survey...)
