Why isn't bench research (develop and test new therapies) done in private practice? Because research depends on INFRASTRUCTURE: microscopes, MRIs, tissue core, animal vivarium, statisticians and biorepositories. All of this is funded by NIH, being cut right now through fewer grants and slashed IDCs

Yes, below. (I am a PhD, not an MD). This work does not get done anywhere else. It's not financially lucrative enough. We invest in pediatric cancer research as a *society* because that work does not get done otherwise. Hard impacts to MDs especially: bench research can't be done in private practice
