Federal funding and science doubled life expectancy. We can't do more with less.
Federal funding and scientific progress have doubled human life expectancy. Without more money for science, there is a danger of losing these health gains.
Government money (federal funding) and science helped people live longer lives. This means our average lifespan has doubled! If we do not give more money to science, this good progress might go backward. We could lose the healthy steps we have already taken.
Why it matters
This matters because losing health gains means people will start dying younger again. We need funding to keep getting healthier!
