The $949 Galleri liquid biopsy can screen for more than 50 types of cancers. It works by looking for a shared cancer signal in DNA shed by tumors in the bloodstream. More than 130,000 of the prescription-only tests have been sold since Galleri became available in June 2021, according to the test maker Grail, a unit of the gene-sequencing company Illumina.

Please re-read the sentence that says, “The Galleri test is one of many products tapping into affluent and health-obsessed consumers’ appetite for data on their personal health.” Uh-Huh, like oh so many Perks of the Privileged from paying either zero taxes to hardly paying your fair share of taxes to the hypocrisy of wealthy criminals, white collar criminals, not having to prove a burden of guilt (Trump is an example of this), to actually having no safeguards placed upon you to buy and purchase your Politician, to issues of Medical Miracles, which bought and paid for, can make a difference in your longevity and healthy life… We have one more example of the GREAT DIVIDE, between those who can PAY a LOT, to live a LIFE, and those who are just living day to day.
There is a GREAT DIVIDE in this world, in this Nation of ours, in Politics, in Facing Education, and most awfully, in Medical Advances.
When will equality become real? Seriously when will lives matter no matter how wealthy or not wealthy we are?
