Hello everyone!!!! It's Nicole Sheri your Columbia Youth Activist!!!
Here is an update on the South Carolina State Budget:
Governor Mark Sanford chose last week to VETO the entire health care portion of the proposed state budget. If the Legislature, back in session tomorrow on Tuesday, June 15th, is not successful overriding the veto, the following will happen:Just wanted to keep you all posted...thanks for reading and hope to see you back here, same place.
- All AIDS Drug Assistance (ADAP) money will be eliminated. This means that the 2,300 people currently receiving assistance from ADAP will no longer be able to get their life-sustaining drugs AND the 145 people currently on the WAIT LIST will never receive them.
- What little is left of HIV Prevention [$200,000] money will disappear. This goes to Project FAITH (Fostering AIDS Initiatives That Heal).
- Other health care issues for the poor and disenfranchised in SC will be eliminated: breast cancer screening, kidney prevention, etc.
