Lack of access drives disease

The American Cancer Society is doing something unprecedented in its latest publicity campaign to get Americans to sit up and take notice. Society CEO John R. Seffrin stated unequivocally earlier this month that transforming America's broken health care system is the only way to defeat cancer. In his announcement urging a national debate on health care access, Sefrin said that people who do not have access to timely and adequate health care miss cancer prevention, early detection and treatments that could ward off the disease or save lives.
