The Intersection of Prostate Cancer, Public Health Policy & Politics

[cesanon]

Prostate Cancer is an all male disease. And many of the most effective treatments are unaffordable without proper insurance coverage.

Statistically 61% of white males support the Republican party. My guess is that the numbers do not change much among those of us who have prostate cancer. The Republican party seems to have a history of hostility toward public healthcare matched only by its history of hostility toward taxes. (If my premise is factually in error, I welcome factual correction from anyone).

Anyone have any ideas on how to gain more support from the Republican Party on issues of public healthcare as it relates to prostate cancer? And to mobilize males with prostate cancer into effecting such influence?

This is an important issue. Many of our brothers are currently being threatened with the effective loss of affordable access to prostate cancer treatment by the recent termination of supplemental funding for lower income patients under the Affordable Care Act.

PLEASE, let's keep this conversation civil... factual... positive... and on topic ("ideas on how to gain more support from the Republican Party on issues of public healthcare as it relates to prostate cancer?"). Thanks.
