How much will cutting 10% across the board cost us?

For example, cutting the NIH by 10% will cut $3.2 billion from the basic science research that our pharmaceutical companies depend on, not to mention the direct results of slower progress in finding cures and palliatives for new diseases.

How much will the loss of that research cost us?
