Calls for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act have produced analysis of its likely effect on vulnerable populations, chronic care, those living with HIV.
THE UNITED STATES — A number of editorials have expressed significant concern over the health of those living chronically with HIV under the possible repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act. It is important, then, to review (or view for the first time) June Cross’s film, Wilhemina’s War, and its associated review at PBS. Equally important is the review of a number of studies regarding the effect of the ACA (and public insurance) on HIV care, access, and nondiscrimination: conducted more recently by the Urban Institute Health Policy Center in 2015 and the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation in 2014 and 2016.
