States' Rights and Wrongs
The 2007 edition of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program Monitoring Project is out. ADAPs are federal-state programs that provide AIDS drugs to low-income people or those who don't have insurance. Its annual budget is $1.4 billion and it serves 141,856 people.
States' commitments to the program vary. New York's is quite robust, but South Carolina came under heavy fire late last year as several people died while on waiting lists for medication. More than 550 people are on waiting lists now. See how your state measures up.
