Wasn't this a Law and Order episode last year?

I can't think of anything that strikes me as more evil (i am sure there is but...). people are relying upon these drugs to save their lives and when the drugs are watered down and don't work, they give up hope which i think it the most important aspect to getting well.

this one place that i used to volunteer at (stopped because too many people were dying) was called the aliveness project. what they are around for is all the people that are well enough to work but if they work they lose their benefits that pay for their drugs. They can't afford the drugs without the benefits so they just can't work and therefore can't afford food.

it is a horrible set of cercumstances that people aren't allowed to get what they need to try and fight a diease.
