Perhaps if there had been socialized medicine in America as there is in all civilized western countries your cancer might have been caught earlier. Just me, I could be wrong.
My wife died very young from cancer. One of the things I learned watching her slowly and painfully waste away, and others on the ward, was that they had so very little time to waste it with rancor. Then again she and they we're Thais and also Buddhists.

Things will get better when Main St. definitively rejects extremist-capitalist neo-CON tinkle down economics and forceably rejects its proponents. French Revolution style. Which, sadly, is to say things won't get better.
It appears that the rah rah rah sis boom bah we're number one crowd's depth and breadth has contracted considerably. Progress is being made. Too late for meaningful change though.
Indeed. Very disappointed that hope and change appears to have become just more of the same. Politics, most especially at this level, are driven by promises for money.
Businessmen and corporations have allot more of it than Jane and John Q. Public. Money talks and BS walks.
The only positive aspect of Obama's presidency may turn out to be that the world doesn't hate him as they do his predecessor.
