Jeb Bush Supports Science Funding For Alzheimer’s

Secular Talk

According to The New York Times, former Governor Jeb Bush talked about his mother-in-law’s affliction with Alzheimer’s disease last week.  He also shed some light on what he thinks should be done to fight the illness.

“In an email exchange with Maria Shriver, the journalist, activist and author, Mr. Bush wrote that he has been getting a lot of feedback since revealing that his family has firsthand experience with the disease,” writes The Times.

Mr. Bush called for more research funding and a faster drug approval process to fight Alzheimer’s, which the CDC says afflicts some 5 million Americans, according to The NYT.  “We need to increase funding to find a cure,” Mr. Bush said.

  1. Most conservatives are. Hence you can have Ted Cruz opposed to federal aid after Hurricane Sandy, but in support of federal aid to the State of Texas during the recent flooding there. Or, hell, you can have Ted Cruz opposed to the Affordable Care Act, but taking advantage of it to provide health care for his family.
