He leaves out the key indicator (and unfortunately, I don’t know the answer, though I can guess), which is, how much is spent on research for heart attacks (the leading cause of death among white males). |

Heart disease kills the most, but the disesase that focuses only on males is prostate cancer. According to the CDC, there were 185,000 new cases in 2003 as opposed to about 37,000 new cases a year for AIDS. Does prostate cancer get five times the funding? Um, no.
Hillary mentioned white women. The disease that gets the most press for women is breast cancer. It has roughly the same number of new cases, but twice the funding of prostate cancer. Of couse, even breast cancer gets less than a billion per year for research. AIDS got about $3 Billion for research in 2006. If we treated AIDS like the most prominent diseases for white men or women, its budget would be slashed by 90%.
(I couldn’t find a total for heart disease, possible because of the vatiety of causes; diabetes, the nations #2 killer with 1.5 million cases and 225,000 deaths per year, got about $1.1 Billion for research in 2006) |

We just better hope there’s never a disease that primarily hits gay women. Folks like Hillary would insist that it be allocated more funding than all other diseases put together. |
