Barack Hussein Obama’s Plans For the Americans Concerning Medical Issues
Barack Hussein Obama’s Plan To Fight HIV/AIDS
40 million people across the globe are infected with HIV/AIDS. There are approximately 1 million of those individuals infected that live in U.S. Out of the that there are almost 8,000 people dying of AIDS each and every day. Barack Obama believes that we, the United States, should do more to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In 2006, Barack and his wife traveled to Kenya (the homeland of his father) and, took the HIV/AIDS test to show the African men and women that they need to be tested for the disease. Obama believes he must work across the party lines to combat this epidemic or pandemic which ever you want to call it and decided to join with Senator Sam Brownback at a California Evangelical Church to promote a greater investment in the HIV/AIDS battle. If Obama becomes president then he says he will continue to be a leader in the fight of HIV/AIDS.
Strategies of Barack Hussein Obama
Obama has stated that, he will create and implement a national strategy that will include all of the federal agencies involved. His strategy will be designed to reduce the HIV infections. Statistics show that there are 47 million Americans that are uninsured. Barack says that he is committed to signing the different universal health care legislations by the end of his first term of office to ensure that all Americans have high-quality health coverage that is affordable. The plan that Obama has ready to implement will save the typical American family approximately $2,500 each and every year on medical expenses. His health coverage plan will ensure people living in the US with HIV will have access to lifesaving treatment.
More money for the research of HIV/AIDS
Barack Obama says he will expand the funding for the medical research or HIV. He is especially for the prevention options which includes a vaccine and microbicides. Microbicides are products that are under development that women have been applying topically to prevent transmission of HIV and certain other infections. Obama has led an effort to accelerate the development of products to empower women in their battle against the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In the US, there is a higher percentage of women that have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS which has quadrupled over the last 20 years.
In conclusion, Barack Hussein Obama has a plan that will create a low cost medical insurance, funding for research for HIV/AIDS, prevention for the at risk, and many other plans that he says will help the American people.
