This is going to sound evil, but I don't really understand the point of cancer charities. I thought the reason why medical care costs so much was because of all the R&D that goes into it. It seems ridiculous that with all the money being poured into the industry, cancer research still needs charity support. The whole thing seems like a feel-good scam to me. I would gladly donate to a charity that helps poor people pay for cancer treatment that their insurance doesn't cover. But I find it hard to believe that the actual R&D is underfunded.
