Opinion | Economics Among Challenges Blacks Face With HIV/AIDS ...

Economic conditions are a "fundamental" challenge that blacks face in terms of HIV/AIDS, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) writes in an opinion piece for the Louisiana Weekly. He says, "When the economy sours, those who earn the least typically suffer the most. Unfortunately, those same people are statistically more likely to be suffering, literally, from diseases such as HIV/AIDS." Ellison notes that the CDC Web site states that people facing tough economic conditions do not always have access to good health care. He adds that such "dilemmas are particularly acute for African-Americans, one in four of whom were living in poverty in 1999." According to Ellison, the U.S. cannot devote funding to "lift Americans out of poverty or significantly improve health care for those living with HIV/AIDS while [it] spend[s] $10 billion per month on military activities in Iraq." He writes, "The consequence of the federal government's current spending priorities is, regrettably, that poor people can't access high-quality health care and that African-Americans don't encounter enough targeted outreach about HIV/AIDS.
