I have people talk disdainfully about "Obamacare" every day, but I'm really excited for it. I am eager to see what sort of positive changes we will see, because holy fuck it can't get any worse than it is already.
p.s. I have never seen anyone actually pay more than $30 for Truvada. With government assistance or private insurance, it always seems to be covered.
Well, if it makes anyone happy, they never have to worry about paying for me get viagra. Now, that is not a boast, but given the state of my heart it would likely kill me..,.,., I'm sorry to admit that even though I never have the opportunity to use the equipment, I do dread the day when the equipment will cease working for good.
There are interesting ethics in Truvada. While highly expensive now, a large part of that is not production cost, but rather the maker re-couping the cost of research and FDA approval that is so high. In that respect, America often supports the rest of the world as our citizens pay the profits for BIGPHARM and the rest of the world just pays for the manufacturing costs.
Secondly, I have been watching AIDS since the days it was a mystery disease killing off Haitian, Hemos and other "H"'s (sorry old bad joke). It has cost a lot of money, expensive to treat, expensive not to treat. It pisses me off, once people knew what was causing it, everyone should have worn a condom and it would have become rare and infrequent, but people don't. I don't understand. Then again, I'm monogamous ,overly interspective,and sober. Little sad children will be born to suffer and die because of AIDs, naive girls will believe the man's lies, and she'll die. Romantic Montrose boys will be fatalistic, and they'll die too damn young before learning so much they need to learn. For sex, for stupidity, and it bothers me to this day.
Will Trivada slow down the spread, if we could slow down the spread, increase testing, increase education would AIDS go away, would little sickly babies be born no more, will children stop watching both of their parents waste away, will we stop spending millions of keeping a person with HIV slipping into terminal AIDS. It seems worth some of our treasure, if just to see if it will work.
Better than spending it on Viagra for Mitt Romney.
P.S a "
paying for Viagra for a transgender female (who apparently still has a penis) " Do you mean a male that is taking large does of hormones to develop secondary charecteristics because he/she believes that they have the brain chemistry/neuroanatomy to be female? They want Viagra? If you're on those dosages of estrogen why would you want a functioning yargis, one last fling? Double checking to see if you're sure for the surgery, one of those weird porn movies? That's just strange.Could it have been one of those poor souls born with indeterminate sexual characteristics that was getting gender assigned by surgery? I do like to think that sometimes there is a good reason, instead of assuming the worse, however you may know this she/he person well enough to have more certainty in your observation. That is just strange.
