Comments about ‘Gephardt and Leavitt: Americans should unite behind biomed research’

Excellent!

Let's also get at the root of our health problems -- pollution emissions and toxins caused by the burning of fossil fuels that get into our air and water streams and ultimately end up in our blood streams.

What causes cancer? Our bodies' exposure to toxic chemicals in the power we generate, the products we consumer, and the food we eat.

Cleaning up our environment would do much to reduce the suffering of people and healthcare costs.
