While watching "The AIDS Quarterly" on PBS Wednesday night I sensed
a kind of anti-gay bias on the part of some of the people inter-
viewed on the program.  Health facilities were being discussed-
who had access to what.  And it was like there was an opinion ex-
pressed by some that "well the white gays have all this medical
care available to them and no one else does."  I think that
probably people who are gay struggled for what is now available
to them (and still struggle) while, probably, no one else really
gave a damn.  I heard this same subtle expression from a PWA re-
cently.  Any one else; or is it my imagination
 
I think that health care should be available to all people;
the health care system needs to be reevaluated (and redesigned?).
People I work with are saying that the AIDS crisis should be "exploited" to  
this end.
