on what's been going on so one of the first things i did was i looked at what was happening at the nihbudget and i was startled to discover the budget had been undergoing of your gyrations and actually doubled between 1998 and 2003 which seems like good news or biomedical research. really nice infusion of cash but after 2003, the dollars flattened out and in terms of spending power they actually decreased by about 20 percent so i thought this is not a formula for good things to be happening, if you have this burst of money that led to a 50 percent increase in the amount of laboratory space and academic labs for biomedical research and then basically congress okay, we've done enough. were going to flatline the budget but that's not a good thing to be happening. there must be some consequences of that. that's the first thing i noticed. shortly thereafter i came across a paper that had been published in the journal nature which had looked at what was coming out of some of these academic labs. and it was a researcher, the main researcher at amgen and it was glenn begley and he was head of

programs at the department of health and human services the focus on women's health, including the nih office of women's health, the nih pregnancy and prenatal branch, the cdc office of women's health, the cdc efforts to prevent the spread of zika virus which impacts pregnant women. so here are some other responses of the rest of the story. our budget does not eliminate federal funding, excuse me, does a limited federal funding for planned parenthood. however, promotes redirecting these funds to community health centers. the budget promotes investment community health centers to promote greater access to care for women. the community health centers are nonprofit. there are committee base clinics have a comprehensive care including mammograms which by the way planned parenthood claims to have provided and we now know that they do not provide mammograms. in fact, they do not have a single location that provides a mammogram. now, here are some other little fax. there are 9000 community health centers which unlike planned parenthood clinics are required guess, required by law to be located

century to a century, paying in advance for the development of modern medicine to the government and nih university. you have in science, how did you get computer science? it did not just come nowhere or fall from the sky, it had to be supported and from the defense department and the nfs. where did satellite communication came from? what about cell phones? >> how do you get cell phones and gps system? they don't fall from the sky. it is done by the defense department, they have 50 satellites going around at any one time and 24 of them are active and they're at 51 degrees at an angle from the equator. at any time, four of them can focus on any point on earth. what happens if you want to make a cell phone call? >> you take your cell phone and gough and send a message to a tower and the message go to a speed of light. the tower goes at the paid of light to satellite and that has a switching system and it sends it and does the twitching and sends it to the speed of light around the world to the person you are calling in europe and down to the tower and town to the satellite. how fast does t

the nih is leaving good eye ends on the table, because its short of money. one in five biochemistry research scientists are considering leaving the united states so they can continue their work. it is not an exaggeration to say that an entire generation of young researchers is threatened with extinction or exile. some of the work may my great to another country but much of the research needed simply doesn't get done. i asked the director of mental institute of health could do with more funding. he described we're on the cusp of a revolution. he and other scientists belief researchers are right on the edge of unraveling the most important puzzles about the brain. they believe that we are inches away from opening exciting new lines of treatment for mental illness, alzheimer's, autism, huntington's disease, psychosis and schizophrenia. there is a catch, without government funding those discoveries will be delayed by years, maybe decades. this fight is about building a future and this is about mike from douglas massachusetts, because mike is starting to have tro

health and human services that focus on women's health including the office of women's health, the nih pregnancy and perry thattal branch, the office of women's health, the cdc efforts to pred the zika virus which impacts pregnant women. so here are some other responses of the rest of the story. our budget does not eliminate federal funding -- does eliminate federal funding for planned parenthood. the budget promotes investing in community health centers to promote greater access to care for women. the community health centers are nonprofit. they're community-based clinics that provide comprehensive care, including mammograms, which by the way, planned parenthood claims to have provided and we now know they do not provide mammograms. in fact, they do not have a single location that provides a mammogram. now, here's some other little facts. there are 9,000 community health centers. which unlike planned parenthood clinics are required, yes, they're required by law to be located in medically underserved areas with high levels of poverty and infant mortality. so when others talk about, oh,

funding, the good news is the first two years, it was $2 billion of new money for nih. then it was $1.2 billion in their draft bill. can get that up. overoal was $10 billion five years. >> you bring up an interesting toance between the prophet the company and then going into research and transparency a lower cost for consumers. how do you strike that balance? i do not think we have figured out how to strike the balance here otherwise, we would have to get solutions -- we frequently do. this morning, we do not have that to present. grownms as the system has more complex, your previous speaker talked about complex system where you have haitian, employers, unions, insurance pharmacies, and the pharmaceutical companies themselves. you have a complex system and for each, it seems there is negotiation and rebates. and then over all of that is the drug research, patent exclusivity, and the development of new and exciting drugs and other drugs that really are presenting new and innovative cures for people. it is difficult especially when we have not had hearings, to determine e
