You know, that’s an excellent point, as the debate rages on.

I pray Chris Dodd receives successful treatment and lives to be old and happy, and thankfully we have the means available (for now) to better his chances by far.

But what would his chances be under the plan they are pushing? Maybe he’ll spend a few minutes thinking about that now.

Look how much higher the US survival rate is than in Europe. It’s a UK study as well - no argument for US bias.
