BOSTON — Governor Maura Healey issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump can cut $800 million in National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding: 

“Donald Trump is blocking lifesaving cures and treatments for millions of families and eliminating jobs in every part of our country. The only ones who benefit from this are China and other countries who are now recruiting our entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists and researchers away from us. Massachusetts will always invest in research, science and innovation. People across the globe are saved by Massachusetts science, and we will continue to lead the world in the discovery of new cures - and create the companies and jobs that come with it.”
