U.S. Insurance Companies Must Now Cover PrEP With No Cost-Sharing
HIVPlus Mag ^ | July 20, 2021 | Andre Jackson

In a massive move, the Biden Administration has released a new guidance that directs most health insurance companies to offer pre-exposure prophylaxis to beneficiaries at no cost.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is a medicine taken to prevent at-risk communities from contracting HIV.

According to the guidance, released Monday by the Department of Labor, the Affordable Care Act requires health plans and market plans to offer preventative drugs that get a recommendation from the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force without cost-sharing. This means that beneficiaries will not be charged co-pays or deductibles for medicine, labs, or office visits. PrEP became a part of this in January but some insurers did not update their processes. Now the federal government has given insurers 60 days to provide coverage.

If you didn't think the Gaystapo earned that name, you haven't been paying attention. They now OWN this nation. Act accordingly.

Not that long ago, a bunch of stars made a public service commercial touting a 60cent pill for HIV.

Now that it’s supposed to be ‘covered’ what’s the new cost?

In case anyone was wondering how much Truvada (PrEP) costs, it is around $2,000 for a month’s supply, $24,000 per year.

Don’t tell me that insurers won’t be passing these exorbitant costs on to their policy holders in higher premiums.

"Don’t tell me that insurers won’t be passing these exorbitant costs on to their policy holders in higher premiums."

As I recall, that was the entire endgame of Obamacare.

So the straight people have to pay for the degenerate homosexuals life style so the queers can continue to sodomize each other and have us pick up the cost when they get sick.

A high ranking homosexual wants to push his $2000 a month HIV prevention bill to everyone else.

“Ummm, hate to tell you but that is the end game of any insurance company.

The premiums they charge covers all claims plus profit.

The trick is managing the risk pools.
