What do the cops do with all of our tax money?

What if we used victim surveys as training data instead wherein victims of crime can specify the place that the crime occurred.

Recent news story for a lady with cancer in the abdomen (I think maybe tied to colon?) . Doctors refused to operate and she ended up going to the US and pay 100k for the operation because she wanted to try even though chances were rather low that she would survive / get better. Still she felt that she should have the opportunity to try regardless.
Edit: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-essex-cancer-surgery-pay-out-of-pocket-1.6604129 it was appendix cancer.
The doctor claims that he sees quite a few Canadian patients looking to get the treatment and for whatever reason Canadian doctors either are not allowed or refuse to do the surgery.

We have a public system in Canada and people go to the USA to pay for treatments because doctors refuse to even try in some cases (due to cost benefit analysis)

Why don't we just go the way of private security detail and forgo the illusion that cops serve anyone else?
