The aids activists should be VERY wary. ezekial Emanuel (bro of Rahm?), has some surprises for them.
Q: You challenged an audience in Vienna yesterday to identify cost-effective programs as well as inefficient ones. But what have you and others in the administration already identified as both winners and losers?
A: I am too distant from particular projects or programs to tell you what is working and what isn’t. When I ran a research group at the NIH, we would look at projects we were spinning our wheels on, and we would say, `Let’s kill it now.’ We have to do the same thing on the HIV implementation side. What’s going well, great. But what’s not going well, let’s cut it.
I have been told of some examples that we are thinking about, but this is really far beyond my expertise. One thing, on monitoring patients on antiretrovirals, instead of monitoring them every month to stretching it out to four months, then checking on that, and perhaps then stretching it out to six months.
The reason I issued my challenge is I am not the expert on the ground. I want to know what the community knows. I got a very loud non-answer (Friday) about what is effective and what isn’t effective. I do expect the community to come back and be frank. This is a collective effort, this isn’t one person and their judgment alone deciding things.

Yeah heaven forbid a DOCTOR and PATIENT relationship exist.
This is what happens when people that have limited patient experience get involved in HC Dicisions. All those T-cell tests are a waste of $$$$.
Good Luck!
Watch the video!
“Death panels” seem to be an under-exaggeration.
