then consider how much money could have been saved in Africa if health care were available to everyone and the AIDs epidemic was averted? How would it have been? It was already epidemic there before any drugs were available. And those drugs don't cure it, they only slow it. You got to take them steadily through your shortened lifespan AND they're expensive.
