Re: PD FUNDING

["Nina P. Brown" <nina@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
