Sickening.
WTF.
no repercussions for our health care costs there /sarc
Should be ‘breaking news,’ IMO.
It’s the only way his new appointments can travel.
The destruction of our health care system continues.
...and the problem with this is..........????????????
At the top of the hour snooze report, I heard him thank the Bush administration for getting this process started....
All these homosexuals better be categorized “high risk” as they will be increasisng the burden of healthcare costs in this country and THEY should be the ones paying for the stupid bill. If smokers and fat people have to pay more then so should these folks.
Is it now a hate crime to put together some recent news stories? (1) Let in people with AIDS. (2) Give asylum to gay foreigners who fear persecution. (3) Cut medical expenses by rationing medical care to older Americans.
Obamacare is going to cover THIS pre-existing “situation” also....(notice it’s about 4 years “behind”)...

Notice the percentages, especially the “Hispanic” percentages of HIV ( and again, the #’s are 4-5 years old).
Oh the wonderful charitable Obama. He is so charitable with OUR money.
This coincides well with free [sic] health care for everyone (regardless of legal status or citizenship).
When does the civil disobedience start?
Just curious, but what the Hell ever happened to the Surgeon General? Is she away at a fat farm? Do we still have one? Alien abduction? Anyone know?
If we treated AIDS like the contagious and life-threatening disease that it is, there would probably be fewer people dying from it.
We always appear helpless when disaster first strikes. The 1998 embassy bomb blast, which resulted in a massive destruction of property and loss of lives, exposed how vulnerable and unprepared we were in dealing with disaster.
When someone dies of Aids, too often we painfully accept such a tragic event as being either an act of witchcraft or an act of God.
And Aids prevention is a foreign language to young women and men in some parts of Kenya. According to a recent study conducted by the National Aids STD Control Programme (NASCOP), 33.3% of girls aged between 15 and 19 years in the western city of Kisumu were HIV positive.
Prostitution
Part of this is due to prostitution. Poverty makes young girls drop out of school and run to the city to work as child minders, where most of them earn between $10 and $15 a month.
Because this money is not enough to provide for her family at home, the girl is driven to prostitution at an early age where she thinks she can earn more money daily.
As Kisumu is a tourist area at the shores of Lake Victoria, girls can find customers day and night - receiving only 50 shillings (less than $1) for each transaction.
Wife inheritance
Wife inheritance - where a widow becomes the property of her late husband's brother - also contributes to the spread of HIV.
After the death of a breadwinner, the widow cannot provide adequate care, food, clothing and above all school fees, so many women see wife inheritance as a solution to financial constraints.
A woman who does not agree to being "inherited" is barred from entering her husband's family homestead. If she dies, her brothers in law are barred by custom from digging her graves.
Male domination
In this male-dominated society, a woman is not expected to participate in important decisions. A woman is considered to have no right even to ask a man to wear a condom, and when it comes to sex it her duty is to oblige. She is used as a sex object, and expected to suffer in silence.
Even when men know the importance of taking precautions, they often cannot afford them. A packet of condoms costs almost the same as half a loaf of bread.
