American Cancer Society Granted Consultative Status with the United Nations

The American Cancer Society was recently granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). Being granted consultative status opens the door for the Society to actively engage with the ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations (UN) Secretariat, programs, funds, and agencies. In addition, the Society will have UN ground passes, and be able to attend UN Commission meetings and table 500-word statements at those meetings. Receiving consultative status at this time is especially important as the first-ever UN Summit on Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) will take place in September 2011. Such a high-level event should be a catalyst for major change at a global level for all people living with cancer and other NCDs.

WardNovember 4, 2011Only the government would on one hand, fund prmgoars to get people to quit the tobacco habit while funding insurance using those that are addicted.The program funds the SCHIP program, where a family of four making 55k a year can get free insurance for their 2 children.I made 44k / year with wife, 2 kids a few years ago, and I still was able to afford my own insurance through work. It's about priorities Not nice rims, big screen TV etc. It's also about this administration getting as many people under their thumb as possible.
