The Governor proposes to cap enrollment in AIDS Drug Assistance (ADAP). Under the proposal, programs would be capped in the current-year based upon program participant enrollment levels, primarily the level of enrollment anticipated as of January 1, 2004. Once the enrollment cap has been reached, eligible individuals needing services would be placed on a waiting list for services.
According to Senate Budget Committee, 5700 individuals would be placed on the waiting list by the end of fiscal year 2004-05. According to the Department of Finance, waiting lists may take into account medical need for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. |
