Is Health Insurance For People With HIV A Concern For You?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

For those with HIV and in the LGBT community... have the current HIV policies in your State or Country...cause you anxiety and concern about your future? What are your concerns about the healthcare system in relation to your health insurance and medications?

Not me personally. Yesterday I learned that 1,200 of Pennsylvania PLWH and on SPBP (our ADAP program) are uninsured. Our Division of HIV has been trying to work with insurance companies to pay health insurance premiums from the Affordable Care Act on behalf of these 1,200 PLWH. Between the state's legal dept and the health insurances they cannot agree on legal language to come to agreement on third party payment of last resort. HORRIBLE! We are only one of a handful of states that cannot get this done. We are exploring legislative options to make this change to help our people. Barriers like this should not exist in health care!
