To appease Elon Musk's demand to cut frivolous expenditures, for the sake of government efficiency, Republicans quietly removed funding for pediatric cancer research through 2033 from a temporary funding bill, according to a report.
The Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program, named after a 10-year-old girl who died from an inoperable tumor in 2013, passed during the Obama administration in 2014. The $126 million bill was in response to $1.55 billion being cut from the National Institutes of Health's budget, according to Bulwark.
