Perhaps the Drugs companies and their "obscene profits" can "break bread" and supply medications to those patients who have been kicked-off of ADAP. Health care is a RIGHT.

This country is UNBELIEVABLE. I am SHOCKED by how BADLY the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TREATS GAY MEN. I voted for OBAMA. I expected things to start turning around for the gay community in this nation. I wasn't expecting instant results but I sure as heck wasn't expecting gays to still be getting kicked out of the military and to start dying of AIDS because of lack of care. America really does hate us... which is so sad since many of us work so hard to be good citizens.OBAMA can you hear us?

This is as if he simply rounded us up and shot us... Except that would be more merciful. I surly can not come up with the $35K the meds "cost," I've spent 30yrs taking drugs by the clock, so they wouldn't fail; now all that appears to have been for nothing... Good Job Arny, you can wipe out a bunch of queers and drug users with a simple swipe of a pen. I think every one on ADAP should sue the state for breach of implied contract. This is murder, ALL trial results say so….

Why don't you just take the ADAP receipients and put them in concentration camps to watch them die slow painful deaths. Mr. Govenor...what an incredibly ignorant and stupid idea this is and I'm really surprised that you put it forward. Have you no shame sir? Have you no compassion? Have you no honor? Just put a gun to each of their heads and get it over with quickly. This goes beyond the pale sir...shame, shame, shame on you.

so, are we going to take this crap! Is California tilting towards a white-Christian "gets rid of the fags by taking away their AIDS medications." Hey, there's more of US then THEM. Think about it folks. California needs to learn right now this honest philosophy, "NEVER PISS-OFF A FAG!!!" Think back to the Frankenstein movies! Let's light that torch!!!

Tell you what Mr. bad-actor-Governor of California. If people start dying because they can't get their AIDS meds then we should drop-off all the dead bodies on the steps of the Capital-Mr. Governor can bury our loved ones till the cows come home.

This is so wrong for so many reasons. 1st it is disgusting that he is using the cuts to health, schools, elderly, etc but to do this out of anger and as retaliation for us not voting for his complicated ballot measures is disgusting. This country is funding HIV drugs for many other countries and to not take care of our own is just sick.

the governor should propose that all california public workers, INCLUDING state representatives and state senators, will no longer get any medical coverage. why should the unemployed, poor and sick die before the rich and/or employed?
