Hi, I want to make a formal complaint and hopefully something will be done to save us.
For your information there is still over 16,000 people dying each year in the USA of HIV/AIDS related causes. There also is an alarming number of newly HIV infected individuals each day in this country. It is disturbing to me that this country is cutting funds every year for Medicaid, Ryan White funding, and other sources that help to keep people alive and kicking while still suffering HIV/AIDS illness. Part D has to be reformed to help people get a better chance to get available medicine. ADAP must be kept in force and housing for people with HIV/AIDS must continue.
All that being said Why is it that we are sending Billions,yes Billions of dollars overseas to fight HIV/AIDS and cutting funds in our on country for our Infected and disabled HIV/AIDS victims. This is a crime against our on Humanity.
Please reverse this trend and help our own people stay alive and in some cases able to work and return to be competitive economically.
You can write your Congress and Senators at Congress.org Tell them of this and complain.

The last thing we need is more medical cuts...
It seems the phamacy department gets richer and richer, The prices of medicine in this county are insane...
Why not cut down on the damn wars, and take care of your own people right here in the USA...
