The economic impact of AIDS: a challenge for nursing.
Estimates to determine the cost of financing AIDS care have been uncertain. Current policies governing private insurance as well as Medicaid/Medicare eligibility have created a number of barriers for people with AIDS (PWA). As the number of AIDS cases increase, nursing will play a crucial role in developing necessary policy changes to improve access to care, contain costs, and continue to provide much needed care to PWA.
