Preventing Cancer Before It Starts: Jonathan Cohen’s Bold Vision for Early Detection and Investor Impact

Despite staggering investments in Cancer treatments, most patients still face limited benefits—especially when diagnosed late. Jonathan Cohen, founder and CEO of 20/20 Biolabs, believes that the true key to saving lives lies not in better treatments, but in earlier detection.

“I saw massive funding of and spending by biotech companies in developing treatments, but very little going to companies focused on early disease detection and prevention, which can be far more impactful,” Cohen says. “Unlike with infectious disease, the effectiveness of treatments for cancer and most chronic diseases is quite limited. Even the latest approved cancer drugs typically extend the lives of those with metastatic disease by only a few weeks or 2-3 months at best.”

By contrast, prevention—particularly early detection—offers a much better return on investment, not only in dollars but in lives saved. Through 20/20 Biolabs, Cohen has launched a line of AI-powered blood tests designed to do just that.

Why We Still Need a Strong ‘Welfare State’—Even as We Build Local Care Enterprises

In a recent post on , my friend and colleague posed a compelling challenge: What if we replaced the welfare state with locally owned care enterprises? His vision draws from successful models in the UK, where small-scale “micro-providers” offer trusted, community-rooted services to older adults and others in need. It’s a hopeful, important argument—and one I believe deserves thoughtful engagement.

Michael and I share a deep belief in the power of localism. Where we diverge is on the question of whether these local solutions can—or should—replace national systems of support, what he and others sometimes call the “welfare state.” Below, I offer my reflections on why I believe a robust national safety net remains essential, even as we invest in the vibrant, decentralized models Michael rightly celebrates.

Michael Shuman, Publisher of the Main Street Journal

There is much to applaud in Michael’s post. We agree fully and enthusiastically that empowering local care enterprises—especially those structured as social ventures, cooperatives, or nonprofits—can revitalize communities, cut costs, improve quality, and return trust to Caregiving. The UK’s micro-provider model is inspiring, and here in the U.S., I believe regulated investment crowdfunding can help fund and scale similar efforts. The opportunity for community ownership, meaningful Employment, and dignified care is real and urgent.
