What are McCain's proposed policies on dealing with AIDS and HIV?


thanks :P

*COPY PASTE*

John McCain has not put forth a formal plan or strategy to address HIV/AIDS domestically or globally, or global health more generally. McCain has a broader domestic health reform plan that seeks to expand access to health coverage using tax policy to shift people from employer-based coverage into the individual insurance market, though he does not advocate policies to prohibit insurers from denying coverage based on health status. He would provide tax credits to assist people in affording coverage and would permit the purchase of insurance across state lines to increase competition in the insurance market. On global HIV, McCain has expressed support for U.S. global AIDS efforts through PEPFAR*. If elected, he would call for a new international organization, the "League of Democracies", to link democratic nations together, and to address challenges including HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. McCain would also establish a goal of eradicating malaria in Africa.

* Quotes
o "It's critical that we face this crisis head-on, which is why I have consistently supported the most aggressive global AIDS program in the history of this pandemic, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)." - World AIDS Day Statement, December 1, 2007
o "My administration will seek to engage on a political, economic, and security level with friendly governments across Africa. Many African nations will not reach their true potential without external assistance to combat the entrenched problems, such as HIV/AIDS, that afflict Africans disproportionately. I will establish the goal of eradicating malaria -- the number one killer of African children under the age of five -- on the continent." - Foreign Affairs, November, 2007

John McCain would reform the United States health care system, give every individual $2,500 and every family $5,000 to purchase health insurance, and engage on a political, economic, and security level with friendly governments across Africa. Many African nations will not reach their true potential without external assistance to combat the entrenched problems, such as HIV/AIDS, that afflict Africans disproportionately. McCain will establish the goal of eradicating malaria -- the number one killer of African children under the age of five -- on the continent.

What's OBAMA'S plan???

He has none. Just like he has no plans to improve the economy. McCain did say he does not know much about the economy and how it is run. As an Economics major, his lack of knowledge and disregard for economics scares me. Economics is the cornerstone of policy making. Everyday he will be asked to make decisions that will affect our lives and that of our children. How can we trust him to make the best use of our tax dollars if he has no knowledge of the economy?

Unlike other presidents, he plans to not have unprotected, out of Wed-lock affairs while in office. That should keep him fairly protected against the virus.

hhahhahahahah are you kidding me? Mc BUSH follows the same orders which BUSH is getting, just read bush policies, it will be MC bush policies as well

Probably start concentration camps and 'purifying' the human race.

get real ! worry about gas prices,the economy and terrorism.......

He wants to put a condom that is for extra large sizes over Hillary's brain
