Congress voted against funding a cure for cancer just to block a win for Biden
The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.
Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.
I'm a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.
Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

Why an American went to Cuba for cancer care
Cuba has faced more than 50 years of US sanctions. Now, for the first time, a unique drug developed on the communist island is being tested in New York state. But some American cancer patients are already taking it - by defying the embargo and flying to Havana for treatment.
Really shows how ass backwards the US really is.
Cuba, a country that the US has tried to destroy for over 60 years now with economic sanctions, has better healthcare than the US, aka the richest nation on the planet.
There is no excuse for the state of healthcare in the US. We really have some evil, greedy people deciding to let people die so they can have more money.
Also Cuba didn't really do anything? They only truly alligned themselves with the communist block after the united states decided to start being shitty to them out of nothing but paranoia. Classic tyrant looking everywhere for conspiracies and causing some to appear moment.
Cuba has three sides of the coin: one for foreigners, another for citizens and finally for politicians.
