I thought the argument has been that we want the freedom to choose whether we go back to work, to choose to accept the risk of not wearing a mask, to go out to eat, to get back to normal life, etc...


It is.

My point was that the treatment was available, the people just exercised their freedom to shoose not to get that treatment.


That’s simply not the only reason. There were literal policies created preventing them from receiving treatment. Would you like me to paste the text from the story that was linked since you obviously didn’t read it? I could also find another link to MD Anderson not allowing current patients to receive ongoing treatments for you to not read.

Based on fear mongering? Probably


In addition to actual policies preventing them from going? Absolutely.

The article that you linked discussed surgeries that were considered elective and how tough it can be to make that determination. The original post was based on emergency care. Incredibly unfortunate story for that woman and I would hate for any relative of mine to deal with that. Assessing the risk with cancer patients can't be easy when trying to balance immediate care/ increased risk of complications during recovery vs. trying to ride it out for a bit.
