“Quote of the Day”

Via: Huffington Post

“People now don’t die from prostate cancer, breast cancer and some of the other things. ‘The fact of the matter is’, our healthcare today is so much better, we’re living so much longer, because of innovations in drug development, surgical procedures, stents, implantable cardiac defibrillators, neural stimulators — they didn’t exist 10 years ago.”

– GOP New York (Buffalo) congressional candidate Chris Collins

The ‘FACTS of the matter’ are:

Fact 1. An estimated 577,190 people in the United States will die from cancer this year, including about 39,920 deaths from breast cancer and 28,170 from prostate cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.

Fact 2. Uninsured people are less likely to detect cancer in its early stages, making it far more expensive to treat.

Fact 3. Uninsured/Insured people often lose their job, home, and savings; paying for their families health.
