The National Cancer Institute alone gets over $5 Billion dollars a year. And at the same time, when the academic, biomedical industry and pharmaceutical industry keep pushing for more expensive high tech solutions to cure disease, they do not advocate the basic needs of the American people. They are not supporting effective healthcare reforms that can save lives and prevent cancer. They have allowed our environmental laws to slacken which increases the rate of cancer. They promote dangerous high tech biological research in this country without any safety oversight to ensure public health and safety. Stop giving your hard earned money to these money-making large non-profit organizations and biomedical institutions until you see them TAKE ACTION with results to FIX our failed healthcare system, INCREASE environmental protection and place EFFECTIVE OVERSIGHT over biological labs that are performing dangerous basic research throughout this country. We first have to have a system in place to prevent cancer. Then we can build an effective system to cure it. Don’t fall prey to this sympathy “Stand up for Cancer” gimmick. You are wasting your money. Instead, how about throwing a fund raising party to fix our failed medical system? Would not that make more sense?
