The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

He's talking about how this bill was just like bloated.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

They took a bunch of shit off of it.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

One of the things that fell on that was in 2012, there was a piece of legislation called the Give Kids a Chance Act.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

What it did was it motivated and incentivized drug companies to create drugs for pediatrics.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

Because right now, pediatrics are completely underfunded.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

We learned all of this when our daughter got sick.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

The National Cancer Institute, 4% of its budget goes to pediatrics.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

So it's already underfunded.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And then when Elon in 2025 tweeted about this, they took off all of the stuff at the end of the bill, 900 pages.

The Joe Rogan Experience

But what was on it was the Give Kids a Chance Act.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Now, this bill is a voucher program.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

So let's say that...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

Tom in his basement wants to create a drug, a new drug for neuroblastoma that will save our daughter's life.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

He's got no money, but he sees the cure.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

So he can go to the FDA and he can say, I got a cure for neuroblastoma.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

And they say, great, we're going to fast track you in the FDA, but we're also going to give you a voucher.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

You can sell that voucher because Tom only got, he only has 10 cents.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

He can't create this drug.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2400 - Katee Sackhoff

But with that voucher, he can take that voucher and he can sell it to anyone.
