MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Governor's Budget includes a net decrease of $107.3 million for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) to reflect a projected decrease in prescription drug costs and caseload. The decrease is primarily due to the transfer of Ryan White clients to county-based Low Income Health Programs. This amount includes savings of $14.5 million from the proposal to increase client share of cost to the maximum percentages allowable under federal law for specified ADAP clients, but would limit ADAP clients with private insurance to a maximum cost sharing percentage.
