During a routine doctor's visit in 2015, I approached my medical provider about prescribing preexposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, to me to reduce my risk of acquiring HIV.

$28,000 per year to not get AIDS. I can think of a cheaper way.
Considering the number of times, I’ve had procedures and drugs denied that would save me from pain as “lifestyle” I can’t believe that the taxpayers or insurance companies are on the hook for this.
Medicine production should be nonprofit.
Why should I pay so you can play?
Maybe I need to be on PrEP. I touch quite a few door handles every day.
He’s arguing for the government, i.e., taxpayers, to pick up the cost of the yearly $28k for “AIDS prevention drugs” - so he and others of his ilk can continue to have unprotected sex and drug users can continue to share needles.
Gee, I wonder why insurance has gotten so expensive?
We have medicine because there is a chance to profit from its production. I’m sure you can get free medicine from, the Commies.
Why?

Very limited and shallow thinking. You would the remove the incentive for improving and developing new medicines.
Quit letting dudes f*** you in the a**. It's a lot cheaper and much more effective.
Look at the prices that are 10x what should be, or much more. That’s the profit motive at work.
From my health care cost coverage reform plan:
I would allow Federal PPACA exchanges to offer Interstate Class Drug Plans,
exempt from state control that cover under contract at the time of policy issue at least:
1. 80% of all FDA-approved recombinant drugs by key active entity
2. 80% of all key FDA breakthrough chemical active entities under patent as of January 1 of the coverage year
used in a drug approved by the FDA by August 1 prior
3. 80% of all key chemical active entities under patent as of January 1 of the coverage year
used in a drug approved by the FDA by August 1 prior
4. 90% of all WHO “essential” drugs
Interstate Class Drug Plans that don’t meet all those minimums could be sold off the exchanges.
This system would allow for genuine negotiation between drug plans and drug companies. Drug plans would have an incentive to try to buy drugs from drug companies and drug companies would have an incentive to make deals to make sales.
Plan formulary drugs would be supplied on an all-the-doctors prescribe basis. The co-pays on plan formulary drugs would be roughly equal to mere manufacturing cost.
Non-formulary drugs might be covered by timed vouchers with plan-set amounts ($700 plan pay, 30-day supply, TV_Drug_32, to be dispensed by plan-listed pharmacy in June 2026). Voucher plans would not have fixed premiums.
Voucher issuance would require individual approval by a plan (or third party) reviewer. The prescriber would normally have to fill out an online request questionnaire.
The copper, bronze and Interstate Class Drug Plans would not be subsidy eligible.
I don’t believe for a second that the AIDs bug is dormant when these people are “undetectable “. That they are looking for ways to keep on doing what incubated the bug to such deadlyness tells you all you need to know about them.

I saw the writer’s name of Michael Chancley, at first I thought it was the real name of the Q-Anon Shaman,
Jacob Chansley. Never mind.
I would think most public health clinics would provide some version of PrEP for the asking, especially when you consider how many homeless and Meth users are out there.
This goes double for big (Mostly Blue) urban areas in a state of neglect and slow deterioration.
Meth or Heroin users are known to share needles, unbothered by the risks of infection.
You see only two choices, capitalism or communism?
