My guess is that it's cost effective to pay for prevention.
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoThe social case for heavily subsidising (if not making free) preventative care and treatment for any contagious disease is strong.
- boroboro4 1y agoIt gets trickier given existence of alternatives (and what’s important generic alternatives).
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoIt doesn’t. Communicating it does. But this sort of goes to the heart on why republics outperform pure democracies.
- boroboro4 1y agoJust to be clear by alternatives I mean currently used oral prep pills: truvada (which is available generic) and descovy, both from gilead. Both are 1 pill a day, with truvada available in a regime where you basically take it only for couple of days before and after high risk activity. And most importantly it can be cheap since it’s generic. This thing is cool but it would be even better if it didn’t cost a fortune.
