I don't see another motivation than hate for what's depicted in this article. Former Florida Governor Rick Scott let $50 - $70 million simply be blocked or not requested for the fight against HIV in Florida. It was a simple process to gain the funds. He also blocked the expansion of medicaid in his state.
Rick Scott & his cronies not only failed their constituents in the fight against HIV. They allowed HIV to spread. Many agencies, including the CDC, tried to help, but were blocked by Scott. This man criminally allowed the spread of the virus to others. I'd like to call this callous indifference, but it wasn't. It was a statement about his stance on HIV & those living with it.
That life with HIV today. I'm fortunate. For some reason, Oklahoma's decent about HIV. I'm not sure how that happened, but it did. It's also among the reasons, I'll probably never be able to leave this state. Many other states don't handle their HIV treatment & meds through Medicaid. You have to go through special programs & there's often a long wait for service. You could get sicker or die waiting for help. Maybe that's the point.
Cya...
