I know i've read other posts about problems with ADAP funding all over the country but my god Florida has like the 2nd or 3rd largest number of HIV cases in the country and I had thought funding was based on number of hiv cases each state has. If so, what the hell is florida doing with all the money they get from the federal government???funding is based on last year's numbers because they have no way to accurately predict how many new cases will show up during the current year along with how many of those cases will need ADAP funding. Plus there is only a limited amount of money set aside for ADAP so if your state's ADAP rolls would jump by say 2000 people this year, there still might not be enough Federal funds for your state.
Also how about cutting ADAP for those in prison that have been found guilty of heinous crimes?
You know one thing. I used to live in Chicago. We got our meds up there thru the mail.
Once again for the "blame the brown man" crowd. Illegal aliens do not qualify for ADAP/Ryan White funds. It is against the law. Oh and before you go pointing fingers at others, there are plenty of Americans that don't want their tax dollars going to people with AIDS. They look at YOU the same way you look at others.
redneck = white man
Who fucking cares is illegals get free drugs - they are human after all. Also, deny prisoners access to drugs would be akin to the death penalty. Most prisoners are non violent felons, so they should be allowed to die horribly because they are in prison?
God, if you are that upset about it, get arrested and go to jail. Free drugs, rent, and food! ::)
I agree with Dachshund, most taxpayers would get rid of any ADAP funds knowing that is going to people "like us".
I wonder if Mikie, Greg and the other xenophobes who flip their shit about "illegal immigunts" every time ADAP issues are raised could inform the rest of us just how many undocumenteds are on the ADAP lists in their respective states?Who really gives a fuck about how many undocumented workers are on waiting lists or not? Are they working and paying into the system? If so, then yes they have every right to receive the care they deserve. Just because our elected officials cannot get their shit together enough to come to a viable and workable solution to monitoring our borders, why should they have to suffer?

I feel this needs to be shared
"Dichotomous thinking is also sometimes called “black or white thinking.” This is when someone is only able to see the extremes of a situation, and is unable to see the “gray areas” or complexities of the situation. For example, a student who engages in dichotomous thinking may believe that if they don't get an "A" in class then they have failed.
Dichotomous thinking is a very common problem in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this disorder, people tend to see themselves, others, and the world as either “all good” or “all bad.” Dichotomous thinking in BPD is linked to splitting behavior.Also Known As: black or white thinking"

blah blah blah
As for you matty, I have a friend that works at the Broward County health dept and he told me 13percent of the people enrolled in ADAP in this county alone are illegals/undocumented workers.
Sorry but at the time I got HIV i was living in Illinois. Illinois repealed their sodomy law back in 1962 so sorry to disappoint you but I didnt break any law. I lived all my life from the time I was born in 1969 in Illinois then moved to FL in 2005. So I havent broken any law here in terms of sodomy since the supreme court took care of that for the states who hadnt replealed it back in that 2003 ruling u stated. Look it up on wikipedia before you think u have your "gotcha" moment.
Christ you have so much time on your hands that you can go back 2-3yrs and read all of my posts. Should I give you my social security number and date of birth too so you can do a background check on me??? Get a life!
Yawn
Australian trash
Yawn
LOL. You are from Australia and here u sit in a thread about a US issue. Your feedback on this topic is mute.
Move to the US. Deal with the ADAP song and dance and then provide us with some insight b/c as it stands you have no clue what you are talking about b/c you have never experienced what it is like to get HIV assistance/health care in the United States.
For crying out loud you have socialized medicine where u live. Your govt provides you with all your needs. You have no idea what you have to go thru to get into ADAP here in the US. Plus u dont have 10's of millions of illegals streaming into your country that you have to stand in line with to get health care.
You're an idiot. You're going on my ignore list so no need for me to see your idiotic posts.
First of all yes I did live part time down here back in 2001 but my residency was in Illinois. I came down here from time to time to help out a friend with full blown AIDS. 2nd of all the question is mute anyways b/c I have had an anal fissure since aug 2000 which prevents me from having anal sex and I do not top. So now i've revealed something embarrassing about myself just to debate you about sodomy laws. You're an idiot. Christ you have so much time on your hands that you can go back 2-3yrs and read all of my posts. Should I give you my social security number and date of birth too so you can do a background check on me??? Get a life!
I had several months of backup meds so I could travel back and forth. As for oral sex I havent done that either since I developed the anal fissure. I completely hate oral sex it is a yawn fest. When I stopped being able to have anal sex.....sex stopped for me altogether. Sex is of no interest to me. I have had a partner for 13yrs now and I am with him for the companionship. Sex is the last thing on either of our minds. Boy, fags and their one track minds. Everything is about sex!!!
You're a troll as well. "ignore button" hit.
You're an idiot. You're going on my ignore list so no need for me to see your idiotic posts. Oh I love that ignore button and that phrase everytime a troll posts... "this user is currently ignored"
