i've had patients with alzheimer's, persons with alzheimer's sit across the desk from me.from me being in the home. over the years you see mike, it was so sweet the way he's combing her hair, putting makeup on her, making the bed. i can handle this. i'm not going to put her in a nursing home. it turns out, you can't do it alone. that's such a huge message for people. >> thirteen years. is that a typical chore? >> it isn't. i spoke to her doctor, who was amazing. she's almost partly cloudy like a friend to them over the years. she said it's really early on set alzheimer's. she got symptoms probably in her late 50s. 95% of people with alzheimer's develop symptoms after 65. this is longer. she's had it for more than a decade. symptoms probably closer to 15, 17 years. there's a spectrum. the alzheimer's association will say average survival is four to eight years but a big spectrum, go 20 years and lots of different forms of it. >> a lot of people watching it are looking at that couple and saying that's my biggest fear right there. when you know there's no cure, no drug, do yo

the alzheimer's association said they don't know of another report where somebody with alzheimer's waswed certainly for ten years. the average time between diagnosis and dying is four to eight years. it can go as long as 20 years. >> are we just diagnosing alzheimer's earlier? is that part of this, or is it a unique case? >> i think in her case it's very unusual that she lived this long. there is hope. there are new approaches to diagnosis. one of the big things is we think we're treating people way too late. it's like giving somebody lipitor after their fifth heart attack and they're already in heart failure. it turns out the pathological changes in the brain begin 10, 20, 30 years before the symptoms even start. the other thing i want to point out is people have to ask discussions when they're still with it about what their desires are. if i get to the point where i have to be in a nurse home, is that okay. if you can't handle me alone and i become demented, sit okay to bring in outside help. it's so important. they're tough discussions and americans don't like to have discussions ab

the human cost an economic cost alzheimer's is gigantic. a lot about liability for long-term care will fall on the government. we are very generous compared to any other country, our investment in solving this problem at a research level has not been enough. the congress, with a few people being very active, has taken that budget, the mia budget -- from 400t has gone million. under the proposed budget is likely to get up to 2 billion. it is the fast growth that the national cancer institute had at the beginning of the war on cancer. it is a fantastic thing. my role, in terms of saying this requires a lotat of different actors to come in. my goal is funding people for a biomarker. there is a lot of international data, government data that is not available to research. they can learn about disease progression. that is something we have done in the foundation of how young children grow. doing that type of database goes back to my background in microsoft of how you empower researchers. a few things, including in investing in early-stage try ris

another example, the cares act, their funding alzheimer's disease, 400 million new dollars every year, growing on the face of 1.8. in one way that's great because it draws new scientist into a field that's crying out for it but at whose expense or other diseases not getting studied to a degree even though there's a lot of crossover and you might make a discovery when you think you're studying alzheimer's which is applicable to many other diseases, but i think it's hard to spend that much new money well, fast. >> i think i'm more bullish on the new money than you are. rather more money than less money. just in terms of nih in particular, what's the rate in the hospital, like 14% or 12% so this is the exception rate for grant application which has been down toward the single digits, depending on what type of grant you look at. this will allow them to raise the rate and generally speaking that low rate means there are good potential experiments are studies that are out there that are unfunded and can now be funded. so yes, the details are important in terms of it's very tough to spend x

the most expensive illness in this nation is dementia and alzheimer's. one out of every $5 spent by medicare today is spent for that. and as the baby boom population grows as a percentage of our population, grows into their latter years, alzheimer's is going to bust the bank. now, one of the great american drug companies, pfizer, had a major alzheimer's research program under way to look for that miracle drug. to understand what alzheimer's is all about. how the brain works or doesn't work. so, they received $3 billion, $4 billion tax reduction in the g.o.p. tax scam. mediately turned around, terminated the alzheimer's research program that they were conducting, and spent the money on stock buybacks. and increased dividends. you know what that does? a stock buyback will increase the price per share, because there are fewer shares outstanding. you know who benefits? you got it, the corporate executives. because their pay is based upon an increase in the value of the stock. not in more and better drugs. not in hiring more people. not in more research. only
