I know many "bright minds" are working on it. They will continue to WORK on it even after our demise. 
I don't expect dissenters to agree with my stance. I have discussed this issue with doctors and representatives from pharmaceutical companies that I know (off the record). Therefore, I know it won't be "PC" to admit that I am correct.

It sounds like you're speaking with some mighty disillusioned people. I deal with healthcare people every day (some of the best doctors in the world, nurses, pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, etc.) and have gotten the exact opposite impression.
Lifesaver, I think the main draw of the story is that, here's this woman who had such a public struggle as her husband slowly died, and now she herself is faced with a medical problem. She is a very public figure who showed quite a bit of strength through everything, and now it turns out she is diagnosed with cancer. The name recognition and the human interest aspect make it perfect fodder for entertainment and morning shows.
