    An old, wise man once asked me, “Have you ever heard of a government program that worked, reached it’s goals and then was dismantled?”

    Have you ever heard of a government program that worked, reached it’s goals and then was dismantled?

    Fair point, but there are two that I recall, both a long time ago now…

    And this one one of American awesomeness…

    (Most of the) politicians are like a flock of sheep: they occupy a position in space and blindly follow the path where the flock goes, applying often the law/rules by the book and not by the spirit, bringing no contribution to the wellness of their citizens.

    From time to time we see some “rebels” who are able to make a difference. Too bad they are so rare ….

    I live in California, USA. My doctor submits a request for HCV med approval through a company called Dolphin. In 2015 HIV co-infection was given high priority for treatment. In 2018 it is no longer given high priority.
    In a previous post I mentioned that my doctor said in 2015 that I would be last in line to get the treatment because I was F0-1 even through I was co-infected. No consideration was given to the other horrible effects of the disease on my system. In 2018 med approval is now more difficulty.

    I finished treatment through Dr Freeman and Monk Med in November 2016. Every day I wonder how terribly I would be suffering or even if I would be alive if it were not for Dr Freeman and fixhepc.

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) are trying to provide broad and seemingly unfettered “protections” for individuals and entities that refuse to provide healthcare services on the basis of religious, conscientious, and/or moral objections. This is sanctioned discrimination by the United States government. We will be thrust back to the early days of the HIV epidemic. This is happening today.

    Forcing people to perform abortions is a VERY slippery slope.

    I agree. It is the expansion of existing exemptions that is so worrisome.

    “Both Congress and courts have, in the past, allowed conscientious exemptions to stand for specific procedures and services – abortion, sterilization, contraception, and assisted suicide. These exemptions are, according to the document put forth by the Trump Administration, not good enough. As such, they propose expanding those exemptions to include virtually any healthcare service one may find objectionable, up to and including refusing to provide services to persons whom they find objectionable. This amounts to nothing less than sanctioned discrimination by the government. “

    @beahavan…. it makes me sad to read it… and at the same time it makes me think that it will open the door to more abuses and blackmail towards those who need medical services. I remember some cases that were presented several years ago in television when some patients were denied medical services (for instance dental work) because the patients were having a hard to treat disease.

    We live already in a society where stigma (of various origins) is met very often and such things will do nothing else but to increase it.

    Education is necessary to fight against stigma and I am not referring to university studies, rather to the simple fact of listen and learn from those who know (and if possible, also do some research) and then to seek to teach others. And this can be done on all levels in a society, it requires only to have an open attitude towards learning & communication.
