  • Title: Despite deadline, Congress not finished with AIDS funding bills.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Oct 06; 10(18):1, 10-1. PubMed ID: 11362819.
    Abstract:
    As the Federal budget deadline nears, it appears that many of the appropriations measures affecting AIDS programs will not be completed on time. Among items slated for reauthorization are the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, at a slightly higher funding level; and the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) program, at a slightly lower level. Prevention funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) remains unchanged, and Medicaid has been drastically cut. Key differences are still being resolved by House and Senate conference committees on several issues. A House proposal would eliminate specific allocations for research and pass funding decisions to the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Senate favors specific appropriations for AIDS and a $53.3 million increase in funding. The House voted for mandatory HIV testing of newborns, and the Senate voted to create a program encouraging health-care professionals to counsel pregnant women about HIV and offer voluntary testing. The House wants to eliminate AIDS education and training centers, while a Senate committee recommends continuing the programs and halving funding to $8 million. The Senate has adopted an amendment that prohibits agencies receiving Ryan White funds from performing activities promoting homosexuality; the House's Ryan White bill does not have such a restriction.
