Kay,
could you please give us the link or let us know where you  found this  
information?
The good news is when I first started  advocating the amount of  
federal funding per Parkinson's patient in  1994 amounted to $26 per  
person...
Amazing how short sighted  (i.e. ignorant, stupid) the government is  
when it comes to  spending... if they spent enough to cure these  
diseases everyone  would come out ahead.
