at all reasonable lengths. i.e. In the probable, now actual, event of budget cuts to AIDS programs, ADAP would be the last state funding cut made. It's held up for now, thankfully.

Many programs have been hurt by funding cuts - some severely. Yet I think CA's call was a good one overall.

Agree, state legislatures are the place to do something. They ultimately determine where fed and local dollars go in AIDS prevention, care and treatment.
