On January 8, the Florida Department of Health announced devastating cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) effective March 1. 
The plan will cut ADAP eligibility from 400% to 130% of the federal poverty level for anyone who is uninsured, end premium support for health insurance, 
and remove the most-prescribed HIV medication from the formulary. These cuts will impact all 30,000+ ADAP clients in Florida. 
Thousands will lose ADAP altogether, and thousands more will be forced to change their medication, even if it is working. 

We need Florida state lawmakers -- especially Republicans -- to step in immediately. Tell your state legislators to protect ADAP and stop these harmful cuts. Scroll down to see how to take action.
