INTRODUCTION
People living with HIV, and their advocates, can be proud of their history of activism in fighting for
acces to health carm We have shown a willingness to be vocal on Capitol Hill and in the streets to get
our community's health care needs met. With all of its shortcomings and limitations, we must value
<strong>Medicaid</strong> as the main sosurce of health care for most people with AIDS; we must continue the legacy of
direct involvement of consumers of health care services with policy makers and health care providers to
work toward an improved health care system; and we must rely on the history and expeiesnce of people
living with HIV to devise managed care systems that provide people living with HIV and other beneficiaties
with high quality health care.
