Show Notes
Thousands of low-income HIV patients face losing access to life-saving medications as eighteen states cut back on Ryan White HIV AIDS programs. Flat federal funding, rising drug costs, and increased enrollment have forced these changes. Florida leads with the most restrictive measures, dropping income eligibility by 67%. Providers warn of a coverage cliff, especially for childless adults in non-Medicaid expansion states. Other states are considering drug limits and premium cuts. A lawsuit challenges Floridas changes, and federal Medicare opened new enrollment, but many may still fall through the cracks. These cutbacks threaten decades of progress in managing HIV as a chronic condition.
