In A Nod To JFK, President Biden Pushing 'Moonshot' To Fight Cancer

President Biden will deliver a speech at the JFK Library in Boston on the Cancer Moonshot initiative, aiming to cut cancer deaths in half and improve lives. The initiative includes an executive order on biotechnology, a new health research agency, and advancements in cancer detection technology. The speech draws on JFK's historic moon landing challenge, with advocacy groups urging Congress to prioritize cancer research. The initiative also addresses cancer disparities and is part of Biden's economic plan to maintain US leadership in biotechnology.
