The second big reason is related:
Fundamental, basic science, the foundation of US tech and biotech innovation, is a public good in the economics sense.

The first big reason why NIH is irreplaceable?
Scale. The NIMH budget alone is $2.4 BILLION. NIH’s budget is around $48 billion. In comparison @hhmi.org is $1B, the fabulous American Cancer Society is around $150M. We are talking about the diff between millions and billions.
