With medical costs at 400,000 dollars per AIDS patient over a
lifetime the homosexual lifestyle bites hard on public budgeting.
Obamacare's 'compassionate liberalism' approach to medicine will cost
the public trillions unnecessarily at that cost will transfer wealth
from the middle class to the powers of concentrated wealth. It would be
far less costly to simply expand the V.A. hospital system to include the
poor. AIDS patients could be given free AIDS drugs and medical
treatment without transferring that cost to private insurers who in turn
transfer the cost to the public paying taxes.
The C.D.C. presently estimates the number of people with AIDS in the U.S.A. at about one million and one hundred fifty thousand. That number multiplied by 400,000 dollars is about a half a trillion bucks, and of course there are another 12,000 individuals contracting the disease each new year. It gets to be real money.
Some public illnesses such as HIV are too epidemic and lasting to treat as usual medical phenomena financially. Transferring coverage for AIDS to insurers by force of law as a pre-existing condition probably will cost trillions when generic drugs and government incentives to provide low cost AIDS treatment to pharmaceutical companies could drive the cost way down-and should.

U.S. veterans already have a vast and epidemic number of head injuries and P.T.S.D. psych treatments as well as Gulf War disease and a host of other problems that could use a better V.A. hospital system and of course a substantial public hospital system would be a good way to treat large numbers of biological or radiological casualties some day if that ever occurs. It is better to be prepared and with a balanced budget than to be on vacation when disaster strikes.
