President Joe Biden is committing to reduce the cancer death rate by 50%.
President Joe Biden is committing to reduce the cancer death rate by 50% - a new goal for the"moonshot" initiative against the disease that was announced in 2016 when he was vice president.
Biden was scheduled to give remarks Wednesday from the East Room of the White House, along with his wife, Jill, and Vice President Kamala Harris. Also scheduled to attend the speech: members of Congress and the administration and about 100 members of the cancer community including patients, survivors, caregivers, families, advocacy groups and research organizations.
There were no plans to announce new funding commitments on Wednesday, though the administration will outline why it believes it can curb cancer through efforts such as increased screening and removing inequities in treatment. The coronavirus pandemic has consumed health care resources and caused people to miss more than 9.5 million cancer screenings.
President Barack Obama announced the moonshot program during his final full year in office and secured $1.8 billion over seven years to fund research. Obama designated Biden, then his vice president, as"mission control," a recognition of Biden's grief as a parent and desire to do something about it. Biden wrote in his memoir"Promise Me, Dad" that he chose not to run for president in 2016 primarily because of Beau's death.
