Doge cuts to cancer care puts lives at risk.

[hondo 50]

People die every year. It is sad.

Is it?

If Trump gets cancer, he will have the best cancer doctors in the world treating him.

Think about the irony of this all, the man who has cut essential serivces and care for millions of others, including cancer research, would now utilize these services for his fat, disgusting self.

The poor doctors who would be tasked with fighting cancer in someone who has set back research and development for a cure with his insane vengeance tour.

So where's the cutoff point?
Are we a bad society of we don't provide $Trillion dollars a year to cancer research? If we cut $million from that budget? Or do we need to throw an extra billion a year to that trillion?

When is government spending ever enough for you?

DOGE is cutting out excessive waste.
If they aren't using the money for the intended purposes it is meant for, then of course its all going to be cut off.

Trump is cutting government waste EVERYWHERE. And that includes a LOT of these scam/sham offices and organizations that are supposedly meant to help people who are in need of help.............but the only "help" anybody is getting, is the corrupt politicians filling their pockets with more blood money.

Apparently the news was so fake even the fake news site had to take it down.

Are you dissing Tommy's Bible

Its societies responsibility. It is in civilised countries. you shoot your health leaders over there.

Well where you are 'over there' one can get diagnosed with terminal cancer and get a pill to commit suicide. Who needs treatment? You couldn't get treatment in time anyway so......Take the pill.

I suppose we all knew this would happen. Americas death panels have now spread from the health insurers to the govt.
Its amazing that people actually vote for this.

Didn't vote for it and don't support it, but targeted therapy can be very time-consuming and expensive so it is at least a discussion that should be had about the public cost-benefits particularly when it comes to patients with metastatic cancer.
