The unimaginable amount of money that has been donated to curing Cancer has been wasted. Think about it, with millions of dollars, what are they doing? Sure, they're trying to cure Cancer, but what do they need millions if not billions for? I mean, sure investments may go into equipment and supplies needed to research, but surely this wouldn't cost billions.

In other words, investing all of the money now would just give them more money to gradually spend on things that aren't curing cancer, which unfortunately is the sad truth. I'm sure they already have a cure, to be honest, but why sell the cure when they could get billions more out of you for treatment that may or may not save your life. I guess that's just how the government's thoughts work, though.

The person with Cancer would be the winner, but in the end we all die from something.

They say the most expensive healthcare costs are for the elderly so therefore if we keep people alive who would have died decades earlier from cancer, we are increasing the cost of healthcare.

It's no different than if we quickly executed murderers(when there is no doubt of guilt) instead of life without parole. We would be saving billions from not having to support those murderers in prison for decades.

This is not rocket science.

People will say we are saving the costs of cancer treatment for years. No, we are merely POSTPONING the inevitable higher costs of long term old age care.

Of course we would all love to see a cure for the sake of those with cancer. But the question was if a cure would save us money. I say in the long term it would cost us much more money.

From what I understand, cancer has no definitive, general cure because the illness itself is as diverse as its victims; in other words, there are as many kinds of cancer as people who suffer from it. Throwing more money at the problem (on top of the $5.4 billion already budgeted to it) is rarely an effective solution, especially when the government (which has demonstrated no regard for either efficiency or accountability) is involved.

Billions upon billions are already spent on cancer research, let alone the incredible cost of all the treatments. Even if we decided to increase the money dedicated to cancer, it likely wouldn't do much as many treatments still lead to uncertain outcomes. We would also lose money we could dedicate elsewhere, such as heart disease. (i.e It's a bad idea)

Why didn't Obiecare and Joe Biden cure cancer excon LMMFAO !
