| HOW? |
| |
 |
A $3 billion infusion equals a 64% increase of the total amount spent nationally on cancer research ($4.7 billion in 2007). |
|
|
$3 billion in bonds will produce $300 million annually for cancer cure research in Texas for the next ten years. |
|
|
The State of Texas can use the equity return on research investments generated by patents, royalties and licenses to repay the bonds. |
|
|
Construction of new research facilities, increased technology and biomedical jobs, and funding of institutional research will generate millions of dollars in sales and business tax revenues for the state. |
|
|
Grants will be made by an non-governmental advisory board made up of respected citizens and a Scientific Review Board. |
|
|
Texas Medicaid costs could decline due to reduced costs for cancer care and treatment of state supported patients. |
