Healthcare and morality


This article raises the important question of why aren't medications for AIDS made affordable? But perhaps the issue at stake is less about healthcare and more about conservative morality and its role in healthcare. AIDS is often associated with behaviors deemed highly immoral by most conservative Christians such as homosexuality and drug use. To what extent is the lack of affordability for AIDS treatment and perhaps birth control related to opposition or at least resistance from proponents conservative Christian morality? What can or should be done to make these services more readily available?
