More on Alabama's high cancer death rate

Dave Parks of the B'ham News reports American Cancer Study bodes ill for Alabama residents and there's even some contextual journalism present. A tip of the tam is due Dave! The article referenced the lack of affordable health care, gave voice to putting more money into preventive care, and noted the undeniable fact that poor folks are way more likely to die from cancer. Reckon Gary Palmer and his Alabama Policy Institute noted this coverage? They've recently written of false fears related to cancer deaths when tightening water quality standards was proposed. Defending Big Pharma and Big Insurance and the AMA, plus trying to keep revenue policies favorable for the fat cats, and last but not least providing the obligatory "class warfare" distraction will surely merit a response from Mr. Palmer and API. Gotta earn that keep Gary. John Gunn
