ROFL! Here is the old Republicans don’t care about sick people argument again! Didn’t liberals like Specter make a big enough fool out of themselves with doing this on fetal stem cells?
Jack Kemp had top of the line health care Mr. Specter. Want to see what socialized medicine brings? Look at Canada and the long waits for surgery, Mexico where doctors cannot even diagnose the flu, Great Britain and Cuba.
The NIH Budget was 11.3 billion in 1995. In one decade it went up to 28 billion. This year it will be around 33 billion.
AIDs funding has gone through the roof.
Who knew that George Bush and the Republicans didn’t spend enough money? Arlin did. Perhaps it is a good thing that he is gone.
Good riddance.
