2009 - 2010 HIV/AIDS Health Care Policy Brief and Recommendations: The timing of The Southern AIDS Coalition's release of 2009 - 2010 HIV/AIDS Health Care Policy Brief and Recommendations coincides with the monumental effort to enact health care reform in the United States within the context of major state and federal budget shortfalls and deficits. Southern states face a nearly $20 billion collective shortfall for fiscal year 2010 and as a result most states are predicting major Medicaid cuts in the near future.
The Potential Impact of Health Care Reform on HIV in the South:The Southern AIDS Coalition (SAC) supports Health Care Reform that 1) results in resources and systems focused to reduce new HIV infections; 2) provides treatment, care, and housing for those living with HIV; and 3) covers all Americans. The response to HIV disease requires proven, evidence-based public health approaches to coordinate payers and providers in the provision of prevention, care, treatment, and housing interventions that maximize individual health and minimize societal cost. SAC's approach to Health Care Reform starts with the need to amass adequate resources for the Southern region to meet the many demands of those living with or at risk of HIV infection.
