From Commentary:

Right now, there are hundreds of patients with a fatal disease being denied lifesaving treatment as a result of government health care rationing. This isn’t happening in a third-world country, or Canada, but right here in the United States of America.
Imagine that you have been sick for weeks, maybe even months, and you haven’t gone to the doctor. You are scared — and worst of all you don’t have insurance. When you finally do go, you get the news you had feared — you’ve been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. The good news is that the disease can be treated, that the disease can be managed, unfortunately, at a cost of as much as $20,000 a year. You are told that there is a government program that can provide treatment, but there is a waiting list, and it may be months or years before you will finally receive the medication that would keep you alive. Without treatment, you could die.
The disease is HIV/AIDS and the public program is the Ryan White CARE Act.
