A new report released by the Institute of Medicine calls for a greater government role in securing treatment for low-income Americans with HIV/AIDS. "Public Financing and Delivery of HIV/AIDS Care: Securing the Legacy of Ryan White," a congressionaly mandated report, states this expansion of coverage will require a new national program with uniform eligibility and benefits.
As a part of the IOM report, the Kaiser Family Foundation released Financing HIV/AIDS Care: A Quilt with Many Holes, which provides a comprehensive overview of the current financing system for HIV/AIDS care in the U.S.
