The Trump administration's budget proposal, however, would eliminate that entire amount in just 1 year by cutting $8,000,000,000 from the NIH.

Your budget would cut $9.2 billion from the Department of Education, a cut of 13.6 percent, taking us back to 2002 levels.

If you are funding with vouchers private school, the money is coming from someplace, and there is an overall cut in the budget.

Education for me is probably one of our most important responsibilities if we are going to have a workforce that is strong, healthy.

I look forward to working together, because we have done it before and I hope we do it again.

These cuts would decimate biomedical research and the economy.

If the Republican healthcare bill had passed, 14 million low-income Americans would have lost Medicaid coverage and their access to treatment along with it.

In Massachusetts, this is a terrible crisis, much like Vermont and Kentucky and other States.

I am very upset with the 24 percent cut requested by the Trump administration, because it will result in more human suffering and more lives lost that could have been saved.

In 2015, opioids, including prescription drugs and illegal drugs such as heroin, killed more than 33,000 Americans, just surpassing death by firearms.

Behavioral health, mental health, addiction treatment, is health, and it belongs in health care just as fixing a broken arm.
