incentive in a certain way. in terms of accessing care, we mentioned during the break, in new york state, we have medicaid is the best insurance money can t buy. with medicaid benefits, people get access to all their medications, doctors advice its advicevisits. arrive to and from the clinic with visiting nurses care. sometimes they are afraid to get a job because they might lose that benefit. that s terrible to think that someone would get out of their care and lose their benefits if they were really working. that s a big problem. we will go to break and come back on this. this was sort of one of those ah-ha moments for me. not all states are as generous with medicaid. if you have an hiv positive diagnosis before it passes, you
