  • Title: Showdown on key issues begins Sept. 5.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Aug 25; 10(15):1, 9-10. PubMed ID: 11362733.
    Abstract:
    The Fall 1995 session of Congress will consider legislative changes that could significantly impact the course of AIDS policy, care, treatment, and programs. Congress will deliberate on the future of Medicaid, Medicare, and welfare as part of a single package. The outcome could leave people with AIDS (PWAs) with severely reduced access to medical treatment, home health care, and prescription drugs. The current legislative process will be further complicated by an expected veto of the package by President Clinton. The current status of legislation includes: a vote by the Senate to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act for another five years; House approval of a $1.4 billion special needs housing account for PWAs; House-approved Labor and Health and Human Services appropriations increases; increased funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research (but no specific dollar amount established for AIDS research); a stalemate on mandatory testing of pregnant women; House approval of a bill that removes all HIV-positive members from the armed forces; an amendment that would deny Federal grants for nonprofit groups that exceed a specified political advocacy threshold; and significant changes in Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
