I believe today we stand on the cusp of something very significant, and that is the chance to spare families forevermore from having to hear the words 'your child has cancer.' Today, after many hard years of work by staff here on Capitol Hill, by people in the administration, by grassroots groups across the country, by concerned citizens everywhere, we will consider a bill that will make a historic difference in the lives of more than 12,000 children a year who are diagnosed with cancer. ... But as for the issue of cancer, we have a unique way of transcending the political and tapping into what is uniquely human among us.
