Here's something else for the conspiracy theorists:
What if the cure for cancer is found and it is NOT in the US? Americans suffer from Cancer at a much higher rate than the rest of the world. What if the cure is found by an Asian country or an African country? Not saying that it will, but the implications of us (America) needing something that another country discovers are very interesting and scary at the same time.

the united states consumes over 50% of all prescribed pharmaceuticals...
that was approx 170 billion rx's...
&
yet...
the U.S.A. is the 29th healthiest country...
28 other countries are healthier than us.
