Yesterday I got a couple of my hairs cut at my sister-in-law’s salon, which happens to be attached to her home.  During the style segment of my hairs cut my brother-in-law called me to come down the street and help him and a neighbor encrypt their wireless network.

This neighbor had recently lost a family member to cancer and while I was encrypting there was a big discussion with the neighbor and her friends about finding a cure for cancer.

Ironically my 15-year-old daughter and I had this conversation a couple of days ago.  So let me go on the record and say

“Our health care system was never designed to cure disease.  There is no money in curing a disease.  Pharmaceutical companies lobby our elected officials, the elected official agrees to allow the creation and distribution of drugs that manage the disease, and the patient has to pay a shit load of money for these manage drugs.  The patient lives longer, the drug company makes a fortune and the elected official gets a nice gratuity to their campaign fund.”

Sad but true!

Before you “waste” your time trying to find a cure, figure out how to rid our government of the idiots who are making selfish decisions.  Do that first and then you will find plenty of people willing to open their wallets for a cure.
