Actually, WE support him, his “partner” AND his mother on that $1700. disability per month. And his ill mother must be getting a check of her own - courteous of us all.
I get that people with this self-inflicted disease want to live, or at least not die a long terrible death without the relief meds provide. I am not heartless. But hey, WE all pay for their meds, Dr. visits, etc. Now we must pay for their lovers and parents and themselves to live their daily lives? WTH?
<I get that people with this self-inflicted disease
The disease is not entirely self-inflicted. When I practiced law, I did pro bono work for an AIDS group. I had one gay man client, but all the rest were several straight white women who had been infected by their husbands.
I’m in another field now, but I understand that black women are frequently infected by their husbands/boyfriends who come back from prison.
While I think we’ve solved the problem of getting AIDS through a blood transfusion, some people who may still be alive now did get it that way. It wasn’t self-inflicted.
