Ryan White Cuts Still Raw
The San Francisco Chronicle reports on millions in cuts the Bay Area faces as a result of last year's Ryan White law reauthorization. The changes prompted Speaker Nancy Pelosi to write to HHS seeking an explanation.
As the Chronicle notes: "Among the programs bracing for cuts are meal deliveries, emergency housing, legal assistance, benefits counseling and emergency financial aid. The council voted to maintain Ryan White funding for core services such as primary medical care, mental health and substance abuse, home health care and case management."
The new law was meant to spread the money better between historically hard-hit areas and others getting big HIV populations for the first time. One might argue that a cutback in secondary services in San Francisco might mean more primary services for the rural South, but it's a debate we'll see across the country as states get their Ryan White money.
