The Ryan White Legacy

The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, was enacted in 1990, just months after its namesake passed away from the disease. It was named after Ryan White, a child who was diagnosed with AIDS following a blood transfusion. His fight for life and the right to attend public school gained national attention and became the face of public education about his disease. Reauthorized in 2013, the program is one of the federal government’s main efforts to improve the quality and availability of care for medically under-served individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS. Unlike Medicare or Medicaid, Ryan White programs are a "payer of last resort", which fund treatment when no other resources are available.
