Hi Everyone,
Regardless of our political persuassions, I bet we all agree that our federal government has a legitimate and necessary role in fighting our shared foe.
From the Lance Armstrong Foundation:
While the cancer community has united around requesting a 6.7% increase
for the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and experts say at least a 3.7%
increase is necessary to keep pace with medical inflation, the initial
draft of the House appropriations bill includes less than a third of
that amount, or 1.5%. The request for the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), which includes NCI, is currently only 1.9% over last year's
level.
