On the recordSeptember 28, 2006
This bill is critical to people all over the United States. There are HIV/AIDS families in every single State asking Congress to pass this bill and to pass it immediately. Thirteen States, on September 30, will have huge losses in revenue. We are getting more calls, naturally. This is not just a bill. This is not just policy. This is life and death to people across this country. We have heard people are on waiting lists that cannot get drugs because the money does not follow the person. The money goes to the States that had the money before. This bill readjusts that so the people who need the drugs get the drugs. It sounds like an American principle to me.
