In reply to the discussion: Ten New York Gay Politicians To Endorse Hillary Clinton [View all]misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)We all move forward with President Hillary Clinton.
She forgets no one. For Instance:
Two-thirds of people who need treatment in the developing world are still not receiving it.
When the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) was founded in 2002, only 200,000 people were receiving treatment for HIV/AIDS in low and middle income countries, with medicines that cost over $10,000 per person per year. Over a decade later, more than eight million people are receiving treatment and CHAI has helped reduce the cost of medicines to around $100 to $200 per person per year in many countries. Countries have repeatedly proven that it is possible to rapidly scale up treatment services. For the first time, there is real promise that we can turn the tide against HIV/AIDS.

****************
Then-President Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton visit the quilt on the Mall in 1992, when it was made up of 40,000 panels that covered the equivalent of 24 football fields.
After calls for help with the early HIV epidemic, Pres Reagan stood silent and distanced himself from the political stigma.
President Bill Clinton & First Lady Hillary stepped up & gave the horrific epidemic their Voices.

There should be no question as to why the HRC & LGBTQ Groups across the nation stand in support of Hillary Clinton.
