The Texas Legislature has told the state health department they need to look elsewhere for nearly $20 million to provide free drugs for HIV/AIDS patients.
My question is, "Why are we providing free drugs for HIV/AIDS patients when people who are desperately ill with other diseases don't get free drugs?"
Dallas AIDS patient Ben Martinez called the decision shortsighted. No, Ben, what's shortsighted is indulging in risky, perverted behavior when you don't have medical insurance to take care of the consequences of your actions.
