How much is HIV medication running now? It used to be thousands per month.

That's not the half of it. Now, extremely expensive meds are mandated to try to PREVENT HIV transmission in males who INSIST on engaging in high-risk homosexual behavior. (Average at over $18,000 per year). And insurance companies are increasingly being pressured by government to provide it. Note that this is for people who DO NOT have HIV but insist on actively trying to catch it. "Medicine" for the "healthy," all on our dime.

OH MAN! I never even considered that.
