what if folks with aids paid for their own medications instead of taxpayers picking up the bill? (for those aids patients on welfare/medicaid)

My initial thought was that they want to keep them alive so they can vote, but they vote when they are dead, so I guess it’s not that.

What if folks with HIV had to face up to the consequences of their actions?

They’d probably use it to buy cocaine or fentanyl.

What If Folks With HIV Could Earn $2,000 a Year for Taking Their Meds?

The prospect of living isn't enough for them?
