It's always possible a great conspiracy exists, but if they didn't publish news and if research money didn't flow in, there would be no cures.
A vast conspiracy against a cure for cancer is one of the most bizarre of all conspiracy theories.
Have you seen any real cures? The 'cures' being offered are properly described as 'managed care'... another cute way to keep the money coming in from patients and their insurance companies.
In this regard, I do not hold much hope of the US curing these types of problems in the future. In the past, we would have. But since the 90s, its been about 'managing' the 'problem' instead of solving it. The medical field, thanks to HMOs, has turned into a bunch of parasites... which is exactly what Hilary? wants.. thereby 'granting' us proper health care, under her new 'health plan'... which would be controlled by Etna, of course.
For a real cure to real diseases, I expect them to come from countries like China, where profit is not the motivating factor. (this ought to get me flamed) With 2b+ people, its in their best interest to solve the major health problems in order to drop their costs. Of course, noone says they won't charge the rest of the world for the cure.. but at least it will work.
