Ryan White CARE Act Reauthorization: Ch. 2 -- The CAEAR Coalition's CARE Act Reauthorization Policy

Key questions, answers, and justifications

B	eginning in the spring of 1998, the CAEAR Coalition engaged in an intensive review of the current and future key strategic issues facing people with HIV/AIDS, their communities, and the public health systems that respond to their health and life needs.

In national meetings in September 1998, December 1998, and May 1999, the Coalition's membership focused on the key issues related to reauthorization of the CARE Act.

We intend for these positions to outline the key areas of interest to the Title I and Title III communities. They will also provide a basis for the many policy discussions that will occur along the successful path to reauthorization of the CARE Act.
