<<Tha magic word to get medical funding was "Cancer." Now it's "AID'S.">> Every time I get some growth cut off it's sent to the lab to check for cancer. My take is it's to get the insurance to cover the cutting.

I don't know why AIDS would be more important to fund. Cancer kills a lot more people than AIDS does. My guess would be that advocates for Cancer funding would have more lobbyists than AIDS activists would. And AIDS is much easier to prevent than Cancer. I'm thinking that would give cancer an edge when it comes to funding research......although I realize that is just too un-pc and logical for most to grasp........, so why is AIDS the disease du jour now?
