specific cut to the nih was so troubling to all on "all in," that we invited republican congressman renee elmersored a bill to restore the nih's funding, because it's the right thing to do. and do you know how many vote that is bill got? zero. and do you know why it got zero votes? because house speaker john boehner never brought it to the floor. joining me now is dr. georges benjamin, executive director of the american public health association. dr. benjamin, there is an argument that republicans are making which is that if you care about cancer treatment, if you care about what's happening in the nih because of the government shutdown, just fund the nih. what do you think of that argument? >> chris, how you doing? my problem with that is that's a false choice. i care a lot about those 200 people and 30 kids who have cancer. but i also care about the 48 million people who get food-borne illness every year and the 3,000 who die. i'm concerned about the fact that we're in flu season and we aren't tracking the flu like we ought to. i'm concerned about the fact that hospitals aren't being adequatel
