nih funding overall is down 25% since 2003.hat means, we are investing about 12.5 billion dollars less in medical research this year than if we had just kept up with inflation over the last decade. last week, the house passed the 21st century cures act which includes the cures innovation , nind. fill a $12.5 billion hole, but it is something. i'm concerned the nih may not even get that much. before this bill passed the house, a section requiring the appropriators to continue to fund the nih at current levels was taken out. this is called a maintenance of effort provision. without it, there is nothing to stop congress from cutting the base budget. in order to try to cut government spending overall. if that happened, nih's budget would not increase at all. billion is the $1.9 added on top. if the result of the 21st century cures bill is a new fund fanfare buteat doesn't result in the additional money, does that research that help the research community? dr. z: i began to downsize my laboratory because i cannot get the appropriate

the nih budget this year is $31 billion, which after spending cuts and sequestration is where nih was2 years ago. what does that mean for research grands? >> traditionally we could fund about a third of those. now we're down to funding about a sixth of those. that means that half of the science is left on the table at a time of such great problem. >> collins knows about scientific breakthroughs. he led the human genome project that in 2003 announced it mapped the whole sequence of dna. >> inside each cell is a instruction book of the code. if you know the rrchts genome for that person and look at their cancer, you can see what happened, oh, that t should have been a c. now that gene is overactive. >> francis collins is not your typical scientist. he plays a go ahead tar. he rides harleys, and written a book about his belief in god. >> how controversial was that in the scientific community? >> it stirred things up a bit. there's some question that science is poorly designed to deal with, like why are we here. that's where faith comes in, an understanding that science limits the questio

we have the nih. the national institutes of health as they do research that the bio-pharma industry is doing, those are great things. the proposal in that regard says incentivize research over things like marketing. we all agree this has been a leading industry in the united states. we want to maintain it, but at the same time, 77% of americans, republicans, independents, and democrats think costs are too high. we have to address that. >> all right. neera, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> i thought that was fantastic. i want to tell you. sorry. >> i want more time, get them back at another point. >> in studio, would be fun. >> scott here too. there are issues with regulations that created some of the problems. >>. >> all right. when we return, new jersey governor and presidential candidate, chris christie is joining us with key endorsements in iowa. the big interview in minutes. to see the new tesla model x, we have more video and talk about its price tag. it's all coming up on "squawk box,"

al, this was just released this morning at european cancer congress, a new study out funded by the nihch is used to predict both recurrence and also response to chemotherapy. this is for women with early stage breast cancer. stage one or stage two. lymph node negative and something called hormone receptor positive, the sub group who test very, very low on this particular test may not need chemotherapy so huge. just reported so we will hear a little bit more, you know, as this evolves today but very, very interesting news in the breast cancer literature. >> when will we see this. >> this test has been available since 2004 but one of the first prospective studies that actually randomized women to either see how they do when they got a low score versus a high score and they found these tremendous results. >> wow, terrific. >> very, very interesting. >> let's talk about the segment here. these weird noises our bodies make. let's get to the first one which is the cough. why would a cough be weird? >> right. when it's really important -- oh. . this is whooping cough and really important in t

the nih has much less than they used to. pharmaceutical companies are not putting that research in.going down. you have to invest. >> the money has to go to the right places. that's the other thing. >> that's right. >> if you look at the annual profits at some of the biggest drug companies, over $80 billion a year. if you let that sink in for a second, it's -- i mean, we know we're in a capitalist society but that's troubling to so many people, especially when you list all the factors that you gave us a moment ago. is that just a result of bad actors like this character from the turing pharma company that jacked up the price of his drug? is it because of people like that or is there money going on -- tell us how the money is shaking out here. >> i think we have a systemic problem in our overall health care system in america. i lived in europe. i saw what national health care can be like when it's done well. yes, there are bad actors but across the board, it's not just one hedge fund guy jacking up a price. the entire pharmaceutical industry model doesn't work anymore in part frankly
