April 21, 2013 (LD) – The US has
announced that it will provide militants in Syria, now openly admitted
to being Al Qaeda terrorists, with $123 million in military aid – while
thousands of cancer patients at home are being turned away from clinics
because of budget cuts. Compounding the the criminal negligence of
telling sick people to seek help elsewhere, is the fact that the
military aid the US is providing terrorists in Syria will be used to
perpetuate an already 2 year long, sectarian-driven humanitarian disaster.
RT recently reported in their article, “US to give $123 million military aid package to Syrian rebels,” that:The US$123 million defense aid package, announced by Kerry at the meeting in the Turkish capital on Sunday, includes body armor, armored vehicles, advanced communication equipment and night vision goggles.
In an April 3, 2013 Washington Post article titled, “Cancer clinics are turning away thousands of Medicare patients. Blame the sequester,” it was reported:
Cancer clinics across the country have begun turning away thousands of Medicare patients, blaming the sequester budget cuts.
Oncologists say the reduced funding, which took effect for Medicare on April 1, makes it impossible to administer expensive chemotherapy drugs while staying afloat financially.
