Obamacare – Will It Help America To Persist Winning The Crusade Against Cancer?

American Cancer Society’s Facts And Figures states: Mortality rate from cancer has declined 22% from its 1991 high, meaning saving 1.5 million cancer patients from the jaws of death; and this is mainly due to reduction in lung cancer, in turn due to dwindling number of tobacco smokers Statistics further show that for men, since 1930s, deaths due to lung cancer phenomenally shot up, while it dwindled since 1990; and for women, an increase from 1960s, followed by a downward slide from 2005 has occurred.  Still, the disease is terribly dreaded due to its life-threatening nature. Findings on other cancers: The incidence of other cancers has also become reduced due to early detection and effective treatments.  For the period 2004-2010, the five-year relative survival rate has gone up from 49% to 68 % of 1975-1977.
