50% of babies are born on Medicaid.
Medicaid covered both my births while I was working class and then later when I was a student.
50%
They do it so babies get proper prenatal treatment bc NOT getting it cost society way more.

Trump on the EU possibly banning food imports from the US: "I don't mind. Let them do it. Let them do it."

The NIH overhead cut doesn't just hurt universities.
It's deadly to the US economy.
The US is a world leader in tech due to the ecosystem that NIH and NSF propel. It drives innovation for tech transfer, creates a highly-skilled sci/tech workforce, and fosters academic/industry crossfertilization.

2. While NSF and NIH indeed have a mission to fund specific research innovations via grantmaking, they do a lot more than that.
Their principal role is support a scientific ecosystem in the United States, that includes everything from education and training to infrastructure and communication.

There’s a false narrative out there that as president, Trump can do whatever he wants with the executive branch. False! Congress has passed laws creating agencies, appropriating funds, and crafting procedures. Constitution requires President to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
