This is pretty sad. I was lucky and got on mine right away this year. They mean it when they say you have to get an appointment and keep it, or else they could run out of money and your off your meds. i feel very sorry for those who are truly sick and need the meds. I have always been blessed with good health, a zero viral load, etc. It isn't the same for everyone. Hopefully negotiations with the drug companies will lower costs and ensure everyone that needs to can participate.
As the budgets continue to be cut, there will only be more people affected by this. It is a crime that we are cutting funds, yet still pour out millions to other countries to help with the HIV epidemic. We need to as a society bring HIV front and center in our own country. The fight is far from over.

The sad part is that Medicare is paying 1700 a month for Atripla and ADAP is paying 700 dollars in Florida for the same Pill. It is all Federal and State Money and the sad part is that during President Bush Administration that negotiation for lower prices concerning RX from our Government's Monies is not allowed and truly is a crime against the people when again our Federal Government is marketing for Big PHARM by buying at the highest price, yet the Government is the largest buyer.
