Either way it’s terrible if they’re cutting funding for people who don’t have healthcare and access, etc. But I don’t understand how they could cut that for people that have health insurance that covers it. It’s not their decision to make.

I’ll have to see if I can find the post that I read before because I thought I read something here today earlier or yesterday that said it was 300 million being cut by elunatic for children’s cancer research. I just woke up and maybe I am miss remembering that. Or maybe I saw it on TV because I had it on briefly earlier.

They always do that. They don’t really talk about what’s going on so we can’t make a fuss about it. And they make it so confusing to figure out.

Something that a lot of people don’t realize is that almost all research in medicine and many other areas is not done by pharmaceutical companies, etc.. It’s funded by the government to small groups that have the capability and the knowledge to do it. And then, if something works, the big Pharma and other companies race buy it to make money etc.
