What do you care what someone does with the person they love?

There are 850,000-950,000 Americans living with HIV/AIDS in the United States , and an estimated 40,000 new HIV infections occur each year. The costs of medications for a HIV/AIDS patient range from $12,000-$20,000 per patient per year.

Let me help you with the math; that's $10 billion - $18 billion a year, or about $60 - $100 a year for every adult American. If we pay for it, we get to have a say.

Intrusive government makes us pay for other people's mistakes. The correct solution to this problem is to abolish publicly funded health care, not to make the state even more intrusive.
