If PAYGO kicks in and Medicare is subject to automatic cuts AND Congress chooses not to waive PAYGO as to Medicare and Congress doesn't find a way to pay for the additional funds needed, Medicare will run out of money and cancer will be among the things that cannot be paid for.

It is understandable that, given the haste with which this was passed that the scariest stories with a grain of truth took on a life of their own. But that's all this one had was a grain of truth.
