I have a friend who had to raise his grandchildren because his son gave his wife AIDS. He was an Airline Steward and would have Gay lovers when he was away. They both died within a year.
As a result,two interesting (IMO) things happened.1) from the mid 80's and well into the 90's hardly a day went by when one of their AIDS patients didn't die in our ER and 2) that health plan came to the brink of bankruptcy and was only rescued by a massive infusion of cash from the institution of higher learning whose name that health plan bore (take a quick peek at my profile and you just might figure out the name of that university).
OH...OK...I'll save you the trouble...Harvard Medical School. :-)
