Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, thousands of people living with HIV who have received Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-funded care are now eligible for Medicaid or subsidized insurance. The protection against insurance discrimination on the basis of preexisting conditions is increasing health care access for many, but this does not mean that the Ryan White Program is no longer needed. Services essential to improving outcomes on the continuum of HIV care are not supported by any other source. Because of the growing number of people living with HIV, we must increase funding for the Ryan White Program and increase the number of HIV care providers.
多亏了《平价医疗法案》,成千上万接受瑞安·怀特艾滋病毒/艾滋病项目资助护理的艾滋病毒感染者现在有资格获得医疗补助或补贴保险。针对既往病症的保险歧视保护措施正在增加许多人的医疗保健可及性,但这并不意味着不再需要瑞安·怀特项目。艾滋病毒连续护理中对改善治疗效果至关重要的服务没有任何其他来源提供支持。由于艾滋病毒感染者人数不断增加,我们必须增加对瑞安·怀特项目的资金投入,并增加艾滋病毒护理提供者的数量。
