ADAP Watch List Updates September 2012
« on: September 07, 2012, 11:35:17 am »
This is actually an end of August report and it's got some really good news. While the ADAP Watch List is down to only 6 states now, two of those states have a zero count leaving just 4 states maintaining an active ADAP Waiting List!

ADAPs with Waiting Lists as of August 30, 2012
170 individuals in 6 states


STATEAMOUNTCHANGE
Florida22-9
Georgia00
Louisiana**114-120
North Carolina25+16
South Dakota9+23
Virginia0-275

ADAP September 4th Watch List
**Louisiana has a capped enrollment on their program. This number is a representation of their current unmet need.


IMHO though it's a shame that HIV, and the ADAP wait list still in NC, got no comment in the main speeches at the DNC convention just held in NC. :( At least though HIV got a lot more mention in the Democratic party platform. (see What the Republican and Democratic Party 2012 Platforms say about HIV/AIDS)

Looks awesome!

I say tanks God.  I'm living in the state of VA where there were nearly a thousand waiting list a year ago.  Now it is ZERO.  Thanks Again.

I am getting my meds from my insurance at my work.  The work situation these days is not that reliable.  I was always wondering what would I do if I lost my job.  Now I know I will be getting the meds from the state Health Dept. 

Do you have any information that they will put new applicants on the meds immediately?  How long it take to be enrolled in the program?  I am feeling now that I am cured of this nasty stuff.   ;D

ADAP September 14th Watch List
**Louisiana has a capped enrollment on their program. This number is a representation of their current unmet need.


My first post in this forum about ADAP was on June 11, 2010 as the second national watch list was near it's beginnings. Although there were only 1,431 people on the list back then, we all watched as the numbers skyrocketed to 9,039 on August 4, 2011 (in part because FL ADAP went totally bankrupt and threw everyone off ADAP for 3 months). It's definitely a welcome relief to see the watch list almost back down to zero.

Thanks to everyone who has been concerned about this crisis and has participated in a rally; signed a petition; written, called, emailed, or visited their State and/or Federal Legislators and officials about ADAP funding. Of course though, the battle isn't totally over. ADAP will still be around for quite some time even after the Affordable Care Act takes full effect.  As ADAP adapts to it's new role, it'll be up to concerned citizens to tackle the newest issue - advocating for Medicaid Expansion to be implemented within their state.

I just wanted to point out that no update for the waiting list watch has come out from NASTAD since Sept 13. Hopefully this is because the last 88 people finally got ADAP coverage after President Obama in July dedicated $80 million to end the ADAP wait lists and so many of the other wait lists were cleared.

another reason to vote for obama.
i have really big doubts that the ADAP programs would survive a Romney/Ryan term.

ADAP is set for renewal in 2013 so everything about Ryan White is under suspect right now. Although it's believed that President Obama will continue to support it (we have no idea what a R/R administration will do; but I imagine the worst!), as long as the ACA remains in place, RW is sure to change in the future. As Medicaid Expansion and the Insurance Exchanges will begin to take care of more and more people, RW will fill in the "trouble spots". This is sure to "weaken" RW but as long as people are getting proper care, whether the money is spent in ACA or the RW plan really shouldn't matter.

Hopefully RW will be renewed as the Medicaid Expansion and Insurance Exchanges are put into place, putting off what to do with the RW program for several years until we know better what it needs to do. ;)

Dang! I spoke/wrote too soon. NASTAD has issued a watch list  - and the count went up a bit.  :(
There are only 3 states with "active" list right now though, and that's good.

That's great G-Dawg!

Being part of the task force in SC that advocated for ADAP funding, I believe that things like that (thanking the folks) helps keep up the morale of workers who often fight hard to make our ungainly and unhelpful systems work. Do you know if there's any organization in GA that is advocating for ADAP funding? Like an ASO or a statewide Task Force? You might want to offer to help them out some.

At a special breakfast meeting, our task force members signed 100's of thank you card back in April and then a group hand-delivered them to state Legislators thanking them for passing a budget, against the Governor's veto, that adequately funded ADAP for 4 yrs. We got a lot of positive response back from many Legislators. Now we're hoping to parlay that positivity into getting our Legislators to override the Governor again and approve Medicaid Expansion and an Insurance Exchange in our state.
