a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

Why Americans are Dying Younger? NIH Is Not the Problem. Our Broken Healthcare Delivery Is
AbstractThe United States leads the world in biomedical innovation, with NIH-funded research driving transformative advances in cancer, HIV, and gene therapy. Yet, these breakthroughs cannot achieve their full impact in a fragmented and inequitable health system. Millions remain uninsured, preventive care is undervalued, and social determinants perpetuate life expectancy gaps. Political efforts to restrict or defund the NIH threaten progress and disproportionately harm underserved populations. Biomedical research alone cannot fix systemic failures but strengthening science while repairing care delivery systems is essential to improving population health and ensuring that innovations benefit all.
