Headline News was talking about the CDC report which reported that young people are waiting to have sex - to watch the video go to http://www.facebook.com/thomas.m.donohue

How can this country let people on waiting lists.

Let me say that again... people needing life saving HIV medications wich in most cases cost thousands of dollars a month are on a waiting list - Yet we can snap and respond nationally and send AID to other countries? Why don't we concentrate on our own country and people for a few minutes.

I posted a video of my thoughts on the ADAP crisis - it can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/thomas.m.donohue
