Members overwhelmingly expressed gratitude for the Ryan White Care Program, sharing how it has been life-saving in covering copays, medications, dental care, vision services, mental health therapy, and even transportation and food assistance for those living with HIV. Several members described the program as a critical safety net that fills gaps left by insurance, with many noting they pay nothing out of pocket for medications that would otherwise cost thousands of dollars per month. A recurring theme was deep appreciation for the program's existence, coupled with encouragement to stay connected with case workers and advocate for continued funding to ensure this essential resource remains available for future generations.

Ryan White has done so much for HIV/AIDS patients. I have insurance right now when I didn't Ryan White saved me. That teenager had no idea the impact that he was going to make.

I have excellent BCBS coverage through my employment covering everything from doctors, ER visits, Dental, vision, mental health, prescription drugs. I do not qualify for financial assistance through Ryan White or other available social services for those with HIV based on my income, in fact I contribute monetarily at our local Maui Aids foundation.
However, my late partner, Timothy, used Ryan White and the associated services available locally based on his SSI income. The agencies did help him a lot. RIP Timmy
