December 15 Webinar on Sequestration Effects on HIV Programs

The Congressional Super Committee didn’t reach a budget deficit reduction agreement before Thanksgiving, meaning automatic federal budget cuts will go into effect in 2013. The media says the Super Committee failed, but the lack of agreement might result in critical protections for programs that are vital for people with HIV.

-Are the automatic budget cuts a win or loss for people with HIV?

-What do automatic budget cuts mean for health reform, Medicaid and Medicare, and under-funded HIV prevention, care, housing and research programs?

-What can our community do to continue to protect these programs

-What happens next, and how can you explain what’s happening to your community without making everyone’s eyes glaze over?
