that cancer is an incredibly curable disease, but there is more money in long term care so the research and development doesn't get funded.

there have been medicines developed that have a 70% cure rate and it will never go mainstream.

Would you say this is a significant flaw in capitalism?

Medicines, yes. But also natural remedies.

I'd be interested to see a summary of all types of cancers and the most effective treatments. I am sure there are ways of getting that info out that would garner enough public response to demand accountability.

forgive me if i think this is bullshite. a legit cure would make so much money hand over foot initially that it would attract plenty of investors who are looking for a quick bang and not a long term stream of revenue. not to mention the good pub that goes with curing cancer.
