Can the ACA help combat AIDS?

[TexasWife25]

"Only a quarter of Americans infected with the AIDS virus are getting effective treatment, according to a U.S. government report released Friday -- and the youngest patients are the worst off. The numbers could worsen if states don’t broaden health care as called for under the 2010 health reform law, scientists worry...."Every state really must enact the Affordable Care Act,” said Dr. Judith Aberg, president of the HIV Medicine Association and an AIDS expert at New York University. “States need to fund HIV treatment and prevention. We need to continue this fight.”....Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor, currently does not cover most low-income adults with HIV. AIDS activists say it’s essential to controlling the epidemic to get coverage for young adults with HIV, and at risk for HIV."

It works fine in Europe and Canada. I'm willing to risk it.

Fuck them. If their parents were so irresponsible as to have had gay sex, need a blood transfusion, use drugs and end up with HIV, then the kid deserves to die horribly and young! We cannot afford to spend money, tax dollars needed to equip our fine fighting men to kill the terrorists threatening our entire way of life, on a bunch of homos, faggots, druggies and third world imports (PC term for African Americans) who probably vote liberal anyway. So take your ACA and AIDS drugs back and give us more guns, more soldiers and more airplanes.

Several have been cured by bone marrow transplants, not a sure thing yet.
