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 isnt. When I ran a research group at the NIH, we would look at projects we were spinning our wheels on, and we would say, `Lets kill it now. We have to do the same thing on the HIV implementation side. Whats going well, great. But whats not going well, lets 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 isnt effective. I do expect the community to come back and be frank. This is a collective effort, this isnt 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!
The new and revised Final Solution for America brought to you by the DemocRAT party and Obama,Pelosi, Reid et al. Sadistic traitors voting themselves the power of life and death over their fellow countrymen. Anyone know if the RAT Elitists exempted their entire families? They, of course, exempted each of themselves from death by Death Panels; only the Country Class will be shipped to hospice centers.
