Biden to commit to new ‘moonshot’ goal of halving cancer death rate over 25 years
PBS NewsHourSep 09, 2021
Biden has announced a revival of the "cancer moonshot" initiative, with the goal of reducing the death rate from cancer by 50% over the next 25 yrs.
He'll tap a White House coordinator for the program and assemble several federal departments into a "cancer cabinet."
This is ambitious, but Biden has set clear goals and mobilized tremendous resources to ensure its success.
This is admirable and full of good ideas, but without additional funding it's likely to fail.
