Money taken away from medical research: a danger to new ideas and taking care of patients.

The Trump administration wants to cut funding for medical research. Many people are upset about this and say it will hurt patients and scientists.

Scientists need money to do research and find cures for diseases. This money pays for important things like staff, equipment, and electricity.

The government wants to cut the money that helps pay for these important things. This means scientists will have less money to do research and may have to close their labs.

If scientists have to close their labs, people will lose their jobs and patients will suffer. New treatments and cures for diseases might not be discovered.

Many people are asking the government to reconsider these cuts. They believe that medical research is important and should be supported.
