Even cancer is getting political! The federal government wants to redefinethe term “cancer” so that fewer conditions qualify as a true cancer.

From FORBES:

With respect to the definition of “cancer,” downgrading some conditions as no longer being “cancer” can and will used to justify reducing “unnecessary” screening tests (e.g., mammograms for women between ages 40-49). Mammograms can now detect the condition known as “ductal carcinoma in situ” (DCIS), which would no longer be called a cancer under the new proposal

Even cancer? Disease? ….is anything in this land of our land NOT political!?
