- Used to like king George, his actions have been changing my mind, The issue in the US for years has been health care, what is he thinking, another cut of 40 million?? whats up with that? doesn't the war cost like a billion a day? Maybe he should take a drive to Houston, and visit MD Anderson, just to see with his own eyes, the tragic lives of cancer patients, adults and the innocent children. Pat T.

- Sorry, people of the world, The Decider has decided and you're all out of luck. We've got governments to topple and people to kill; no time for this namby-pamby health stuff.

- You would think that after 50+ years, Trillions or dollars, that they would be a lot closer to cures than they are. Of course, doctors don't want to cure anything, if its cured, the revenues will stop!!!

The problem is that there is not a cancer, but many different ones. It's like why it's so hard to cure the common cold when the reason is that there are actually more then 200 cold viruses out there and we become immune to one as soon as we catch it. We never get the same cold twice, just different ones. We'd have to come up with 200 separate inoculations or medications. - Reply to this comment
- Chemo and radiation therapy are huge money-makers for the drug industry. Any new cure for cancer will reduce profits and they can't have that!

- This has been the most anti-science administration in several generations. They spend trillions of dollars killing other people and a pittance trying to help or save people through research. This is the main problem with a "faith-based" administration led by a mental midget who actually said that "the jury is still out" on evolution. I think he looks at the budget and whatever doesn't blow up or he doesn't understand, he cuts. Maybe he thinks he can just pray them healthy, but the truth is more likely that he just doesn't care.

This story should remain at the top of the page and examined with more intensity.
Don't you find it odd that King George cut this funding and requested $10.6B for the war on the same day? Now we'll have American casualties on both sides of the Atlantic.
Thank you King George and Prince Richard! - Reply to this comment
- Bush needs to stop sending money to these other countries and keep it here where it is needed. He is looking for 10.6 billion to help Afghanistan, taking money from much needed cancer research and other important programs. We need to start protesting all this waste to these other countries and keep it here to help our own. This whole thing disgusts me. Start calling and writing letters of protest to your Senators, Representatives and even the White House. This has got to stop now!

I was being sarcastic -- I think it's appalling --and King George and Prince Richard are to blame. - Reply to this comment
- I was shocked when I heard this story. Finally, we seem on the brink of having some real breakthroughs in cancer treatment and prevention. How does anyone, even the President, even consider cutting funding to this research?
I watched my own mother die of cancer in 1985 and three years later lost my mother-in-law to it also. In 2004 I was also diagnosed. Early detection is why I'm still here! - Reply to this comment
