I expect to see the following headlines:
– GOP decries government interference in the people's right to be cancer-ridden. "They're coming to take away your carcinogens."
– Trump declares he could solve cancer with a snap of his fingers if he were elected.
– Fox News pundits condemn prioritization on cancer when influenza kills so many in the US. "Obama once more is caving in to the anti-cancer activists on the Left."
– Paul Ryan promises a series of votes to overturn the anti-cancer program, proposing instead to parcel out 50% of the money to individual states as block grants for them to start their own "moonshot" effort.
– The Koch Bros. buy the American Cancer Society and re-orient it as a grass-roots pro-cancer advocacy organization.
– David Barton writes a new book about how the Founding Fathers believed cancer was an integral part of our American dream, and that trying to cure is against Biblical prophecy.

Vague goals so far are to increase resources for research and “break down silos.”
