  • Title: President seeks 3 percent increase in AIDS funding for '98.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1997 Feb 21; 12(3):1, 8, 10. PubMed ID: 11364109.
    Abstract:
    President Clinton's spending proposals for 1998 include increased funding for AIDS research, care, and treatment, as well as initiatives to help people return to work if their multidrug therapy is effective. Some AIDS advocates are still disappointed with this funding level and predict that there will be a shortage of funds available to provide adequate services to HIV/AIDS patients. Advocates also expressed concern over reduced Medicaid spending since many AIDS patients rely completely on Medicaid for health care. The spending proposal keeps Federal funding for the network of State AIDS drug assistance programs at $167 million despite the demand for multidrug treatments. The budget includes $634 million for AIDS-related programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and $1.54 billion for AIDS-related research directed through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of AIDS Research. The total cost of AIDS care, research, and prevention reaches nearly $8.9 billion. Funding proposals for each agency and allocations for the Ryan White CARE Act are outlined.
