Carolyn B. Maloney: “I am asking for no specific amount of money, nor to direct disease-specific research.”

I believe that we can do a better job at protecting our Medicare beneficiaries, providers and teaching hospitals. I urge a 'no' vote.

The restorations come at the expense of direct- graduate- medical- education funding. This means that teaching hospitals in my state will be deprived of $100 to $130 million dollars over 5 years.

We cannot allow the opportunities afforded us by stem cell research to go untapped!

I salute Mr. Savas Tsivicos and the work of the officers and friends of the Panpaphian Association of America.
