Cancer Politics

Mapping high risk states that vote to defund research for a cure to cancer

Why do politicians from states with the highest cancer rates vote to defund research to find a cure? Cancerous politics.

“Cancer claims more than 600,000 American lives a year and cancer care costs about $200 billion every year.

President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot initiative is Congress’ latest partisan casualty. MAGA Republicans, refusing to give Biden a “win,” voted against the renewal of funding.” – USA Today

Use this map based on data from the National Cancer Institute to see which states have the highest rates of cancer: Lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and prostrate cancer. It’s overlaid with the Congressional rep for the district so you can easily see who is putting their politics above your health.

See! Elections do have consequences. You get politicians ready to defund cancer research to fund tax cuts for their billionaire donors.

Hold them accountable
