delivered strong investments in hhs' discretionary budget in the past, especially at the national institutes of healthd i want to be clear that hhs appreciates this work over the years. today i want to highlight how the president's budget supports a number of important goals for hhs. first, the budget if proposes reforms to help deliver americans truly patient-centered affordable care. the budget would empower states to create personalized health care options that put you, as the american patient, in control and insure you are treated like a human being and not like a number. flexibilities in the budget would make this possible while promoting fiscal responsibility and maintaining protections for people with pre-existing conditions. second, the budget strengthens medicare by, to help secure our promise to america's seniors. the budget extends the solvency of the medicare trust fund for eight years while the program's budget will still grow at a 6.9% annual rate. in three major ways, the budget lowers cost for seniors and tackles special interests that are currently taking advantage of the medicare pro

we are also funding research and a partnership with other acute including the national institute of child and health -- about known drug interventions and these emerge out of the root grass of communities and they have had to deal with the problem and for example there is recognition now that physical contact of the infant with the mother would actually decrease the amount of morphine that is necessary to control with drawl. so we're funding research to develop the evidence about what optimal interventions are. finally as relates to your question about what will happen with the children, is there has been some research that shows infant that are born out of mother's were exposed to opiates, if you provide us or to to the environment those children grew up to not have evidence of cognitive impairment. but we are actually planning in the planning phases of very large tory that will follow close to 8000 infant as they go from infant to adolescent -- exposure to drugs influences the brain development. >> that sounds very powerful and the troubling part is it has to be a long-term daddy to see the effect

we think the levels at which congress has been appropriating moneys to the national institute of health is something we can no longer sustain, although we are very supportive of the nih spending. i just want to tell you that as the father of a child with cystic fibrosis, we were on the verge of cutting edge drugs that would prolong her life. so from the standpoint of the nih, we are very supportive of the types of research they perform. but i would also just say that no agency can spend well when they don't live in a resource-constrained world. and when we put forward proposals in congress just without analysis puts additional spending increases on the table, we actually think that degrades the ability for nih to do research -- >> so the justification of cutting general cancer research by $900 million is that the administration is focusing on other diseases from which to fund important research? >> generally, we take a top line reduction for nih and we allocate it across the board with some exceptions, like pediatric cancer. we are trying to prompt a debate which we have for the first t
