TIME TO PROTEST! –
Feb. 25, 2026 – TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s Department of Health is using emergency rules to cut about 12,000 people off from affordable access to their HIV/AIDS medication starting Sunday.
The Department’s emergency rules were filed Tuesday, one day ahead of a hearing in a legal challenge to the state over changes to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program.
Louise Wilhite-St. Laurent, an attorney representing the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which filed the lawsuit, called the state’s move “legal subterfuge.”
… The emergency rule means that, unless changed, thousands of Floridians will lose access to life-saving HIV/AIDS medication as of March 1. A spokesperson for the AIDS Healthcare Foundation said the group plans to challenge the state’s emergency rule.
