New York State Department of Health like Arizona's : If not covered by Medicare, no help from Medicaid with anti-retrovirals and anti-rejection drugs. You need a transplant or are HIV-positive and are poor, you die. Here is the actual information: " Beginning October 1, 2011 Medicaid will no longer cover the following types of drugs when your Medicare prescription drug plan will not pay for them: antidepressants, atypical antipsychotics, antiretrovirals used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS and anti-rejection drugs used for the treatment of organ and tissue transplants. Medicaid cannot cover these drugs on and after October 1, 20111, because of a new State law." How aren't these drugs essential to the welfare and lives of American citizens, so how is this law not anti-constitutional?
