Trump obstructs cancer research [View all]

I may not survive this Trump term.

I am a lymphoma survivor in my third remission.
Everytime it returns, it gets more agressive and resistant to prior therapies.

When it returned in 2019, I went through 4 unsuccessful treatments over 2 years.
The fifth treatment was a success.

I would not reached remission, except for these factors:
ACA provides me lifetime limit protections.
Trump and GOP repeal of GOP failed. They may try again.
The drug that was a success was approved by the FDA the year before.
Insurer approved the drug, rescinded their approval and reverse themselves.

Having RFK Jr in charge of HHS concerns me.
Also, new Trump policies obstructs cancer research.
