“These programs are being slashed under the guise of ‘efficiency’ and ‘overhaul,” said Bill Couzens, founder of Less Cancer. “What’s replacing them is not thoughtful innovation or well-researched alternatives. It’s uncertainty, conspiracy-laced rhetoric and a daily dose of gaslighting in trying to convince Americans that science is optional, that expertise is elitism and we can somehow build a healthier nation while tearing down the very foundations that make health possible.”
On a blog on Medium, Couzens further outlined the impact that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts are having, and will have, on cancer research, prevention and overall health. “Not all harm comes loudly,” he said. “Sometimes, it is hidden in polite language—words like ‘efficiency,’ ‘streamlining,’ or ‘fiscal discipline.’ But, when these words lead to cuts in cancer research, slashed disease prevention programs and the unraveling of the very systems meant to protect those in need, we must call it what it is: a quiet, dangerous form of cruelty.”
Couzens urges all Americans to write their Congressional leaders and protest these cuts. “This isn’t leadership, it’s abandonment disguised as reform,” cautions Couzens. “Nearly every American family has faced cancer. We will not be able to effectively fight this disease without these essential agencies intact.”
Links to Congressional offices can be found in the blog. “Please write today. Millions of lives depend on this,” Couzens added.
