Health Care Reform Implementation
Ask your Representative and Senators today to support funding increases for HIV/AIDS programs!
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA - signed into law on March 23, 2010) includes many provisions important to HIV care and prevention that will be phased in over the next decade.
HIVMA will be closely monitoring implementation of the new law and will focus on:
- Supporting expanded access to comprehensive quality care for individuals living with HIV
- Strengthening the HIV medical workforce
- Addressing disparities in provider payment rates
