Funds have already been cut, Pharmaceutical companies are terminating patient assistance, insurance companies have increased the co pays to an amount that patients cannot afford to pay, the truth is ugly and the media do not care.

Raleigh North FedUP. I am glad you have express your angry. I for one am going to keep pushing forward to find a job and property in my walk and to put solution on the table for no one in my circle advocated for free healthcare, for we all know nothing is free. We have pushed to stay alive in a world build on crumbs for the poor and impoverish. Solution and Solutions and critically thinking in prayer and action is my direction. UpHIGH in pride as one voting to be a leader in molding your policy

Their three great provider hear in Jax, AHF, State and UNF/Shane. The tail is really wagging the dog at this time. Just saying

I do not think their should be concern of Ryan White being cut at this time or limited, not until Jobs are available for HIV positive people. One must understand HIV people are on the bottom of the list for employment to much fear from the community employer over all in the States. Plus the economic Jobs from Ryan White Monies support a big percent of the Healthcare force, here in Jacksonville hundreds of people living in the economic circle of Ryan White Funding and 1000 in the state.

The fascinating thing about the planning Counsel 2014 plan of action was to allocate payment insurance for 900 people with Ryan White money until job or resources to afford treatment. The planning counsel also suggests 10 co-pay... sliding scale or under 125 poverty level, stay under poverty and get treatment or find a good job with a group that has strong RX coverage, like work for HUMANA Insurance. I am in Ryan White and Gilead is giving meds under Advancing Access. Thank you Gilead.

I just got back from a Ryan White Planning Council meeting. Where the city grant manager told case managers to have 900 identified ryan white HIV people sign up for ACA and then if can not afford it their is money allot in an insurance continuation program from Ryan White. They're hoping this will save 200k in our patient funding; the problem for many is they cannot come up with funds to sign up, and the case manager still had not got their stuff together, and Florida has not expanded Medicaid for HIV.
