What we already know

PJ, this sounds like a great bill. I especially like the part about increased patient education and reduction of disparities in access to patient care. What I find especially sad about cancer is that so many people die despite what we already know. I believe that research into cures and better treatments will eventually make a difference, but too many people don't know about cancer symptoms and/or don't have access to good health care, and they are dying NOW. Anything that this bill can do to solve that deserves our support.
