Jesus as NIH Director?

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the House Republicans’ proposed cut to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget would hurt biomedical research’s “biblical power to cure.”

I don’t speak Pelosi so I have no idea what she is saying. Can anyone translate this for us?

Since some people already think that Jesus should be budget director , maybe Pelosi is merely laying the groundwork to make him director of the NIH.
