ADAP BLOGOhio ADAP Crisis Shapes Up as Firewall for ADAP Stakeholders NationwideThe ADAP Advocacy Association (aaa+) is pleased to share its latest blog, Ohio ADAP Crisis Shapes Up as Firewall for ADAP Stakeholders Nationwide. Learn more about the battle lines being drawn in the Buckeye State.The blog reads, in part:As goes Ohio, so could the Nation. The Ohio Health Department is putting up a strong fight to lower the federal poverty limit from its height of 500% in July 2010, lowered to 300% at that time, to now have the ability to implement a potential income eligibility change to as low as 100 % FPL at any time with no notice to anyone with a stroke of pen. If that rule had gone into effect, it would mean in order to qualify for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program a single individual cannot make more than $10,890 a year in order to be eligible. Further, ODH could implement medical criteria one must also meet. Those given the highest priority will be PLWHA who's CD4 counts are lower than 201. The medical criterion makes no mention of an important aspect of HIV care which is the Viral Load.Go to Ohio ADAP Crisis Shapes Up as Firewall for ADAP Stakeholders Nationwide.Please feel free to share our blog with your networks.
