This is good for a start, but where is the money for the HOPWA program? I did not see anything mentioned here on this. Those of us living in high $ areas have a lot of trouble making ends meet and rental assistance will help me move down from 44th on the list and a 3 more year wait. (I've been waiting 3 1/2 years already!)
I'm just thrilled to know I will continue to be covered. I just couldn't live on PAYING $3000+ a month on meds.
OK, so what exactly does this mean? Is there an extra billion for RW overall? Where did this money come from? And why the HELL is the ridiculous 75/25 rule still in place! GET rid of it already. Is there ANYONE else out there who understands the correlation between food, housing, warmth, clothing, and AIDS medical care? Or am I a bitter, sad, party of one who is angry that AIDS activists dropped the ball. Again. Providers are ducking and covering and self-congratulating this news, I am sure.

is there some kind of funding that can get my son who is a Hemophiliac with AIDS get a new bed? he is 32 and his bed is about eight years old and he can no longer sloop on it. he has a mountain of kidney stones on both sides and gall stones and infection, we are not sure how much longer he will be longer with us we just would like him to be comfortable in this time. I have caled his SSI worker and his adult and disability worker, any where else ?
