55% of people with AIDS, 44% of people with HIV, and 90% of children with
HIV/AIDS rely on Medicaid for their health care and treatment.
State revenues are declining across the country, forcing many states to consider

Medicaid or have their services reduced. One option to help states is to temporarily
increase the federal share of Medicaid costs linked to requirements to prevent
states from reducing eligibility or services.

To help alleviate the affordable housing crisis, Sens. Russell Feingold (D-WI) and
Susan Collins (R-ME) are circulating the below letter for signatures. It urges the
Senate THUD Appropriations Subcommittee to increase funding for the tenant-
based Section 8 program for FY 2009.
