unbelievable. We need to revisit what non-partisan means in this country.
If I can confirm that, I will never give to the American Cancer Society again. [BTW, I have in good years been one of their top donors in the country.]
I distrust most “societies” of any medical kind. I think most of them are secret communists, whether they know it or not.
“I guess they don’t think being enslaved and broke forever is an adverse condition.”
We need to get off the economic issue and start hammering on the MEDICAL issue - never mind that the country will be broke.
What it means is you WON’T get medical care in any kind of timely fashion. You will die before your get that tumor removed. You can’t even get x-rays in a timely manner. You will be in long lines waiting for ANY kind of treatment.
It’s pointless for something to be “cheap” if you don’t get that something in the end.
I don’t see anything wrong with the Cancer Society doing this. They are an advocacy group afterall.
Let’s pick a different issue. Suppose a Republican bill reversing the Brady Bill was up for a vote in Congress, and you received a call from the NRA urging you to call your congressmen in support of the bill. Is that partisan? Or is that just the NRA being what it is: an advocacy group?
If the A.C.S. is truly non-partisan, then what are they doing campaigning for Obama care?
I would expect someone that writes articles to be a bit more careful than this... LOL ...
Non-partisan doesn't mean that someone stays silent on political issues, it basically means that they are not going down "one line" of the political spectrum but take either side or work in harmony with both sides for certain issues that concern them
See the defintion below ...
Based on, influenced by, affiliated with, or supporting the interests or policies of no single political party
I think some article writers need a bit more of an education before they start writing articles... :-)
I called him a Marxist and told him to Volunteer for the Cuban Cancer Society and report back on their survival rate before ever calling me again for either a donation or support for some Communist bill and destruction of our Republic.
As the spouse of a 2 time breast cancer survivor, the first diagnosis at age 31, I say BS!
I think they have always supported banning the pre-existing condition exclusion. That has typically been a problem to the average cancer survivor.
They're one of the richest corporations in the country. Does anyone really think they want people to stop smoking? They'd lose all those death donations.
An almond or two a day and you'll never have to fear cancer. Why do you think scientists are studying the peach pit (poison)? They want the patent medicine. An almond, like aspirin, cannot be patented. The peach pit is a cousin of the almond.
Cancer is a great population control disease. Just think of how many people we'd have in the country today if no one died early. Abortions would have to double to make up the difference.
The world is not always as it seems.
Are these the same Einsteins that issued the statement that mammograms were detrimental to the treatment of breast cancer??
Maybe that was the AMA?
Really, what color is the sky in your world today?
I’m a cancer survivor. And I’m grateful for the research that saved my life.
But ACS will never see another dime from me.
Another AARP type payoff.
Do they have their own death wish? After Oboma Death Care passes, the elderly will be killed off, the very young will be killed, and the only people who will be left are the healthy. Why have the cancer society at all? Who are they going to be saving?
Cancer victims should just accept that their health is declining.
Isn’t that the stance of the Senate Majority Leader?
ACS phone number 1-800-227-2345
Why does ACS want to lower cancer survival rates?
I’m sick of the so-called charities that solicit money from me, then use that money to lobby the government to take more money from me. I’m finished with them all except for the Salvation Army.
I really hope I get a call from them!
