President Obama is pledging a "new national effort" to find a cure for cancer in his final State of the Union address on Tuesday.
"For the loved ones we've all lost, for the family we can still save, let’s make America the country that cures cancer once and for all," Obama wrote in his joint address to Congress, according to remarks released by the White House.
Obama said the efforts are inspired by — and will be led by — Vice President Biden, who has launched a high-profile push to end cancer after losing his oldest son last year.
"Last year, Vice President Biden said that with a new moonshot, America can cure cancer," Obama said Tuesday. "Tonight, I'm announcing a new national effort to get it done."
Just hours earlier Tuesday, a group of biotech companies, drugmakers, doctors and researchers formally announced a coalition called the Cancer MoonShot 2020 — a reference to Biden's speech in the Rose Garden last October when he promised a "moon shot" to end cancer.

What? So you’re not a Doctor, nor have you ever played one on TV, yet you’re going to ‘cure cancer’? Based on what, hope & change’ in a can?

Obama will issue an executive order that Doctors can no longer use the diagnoses of cancer. Diagnosing cancer will no longer be socially acceptable and cancer will be cured like homosexuality was!
