Uh, yep, seems like it. Saw a meme:
Who opened the bag of nuts?"
I added: And left it in Kalifornia.

So if I shoot you, but you do not die that is OK in CA as long as the medical community -- at the expense of society in general -- has treatments to stave off death from my shooting you. We wouldn't want to limit my freedom to express myself (swing my fist).

It does seem to be that way, doesn't it. There is no line drawn between personal responsibility and society. They want to legislate everything. This should be called "The Age of the Legislaturalists".

So then, if Big Pharma has become mixed up in laws, policies and programs, that they lobbied for and contributed for, then their production and business becomes unethical. I would say we have that scenario.

Using government to pass laws that increase demand for a product outside the free market and provide payment by transferring costs from those using the product to those who derive no benefit would appear to violate Objectivist principles. If Big Pharma has a product that succeeds in the free market by providing a service that consumers pay for themselves without coersion, then of course big pharma should be able to prosper as a result of their ethical production.

I guess that since it only inconveniences you it is more important to make sure the politically correct carrier doesn't get made to feel bad than to protect me. I guess this means that the politically correct carrier has the right go waving his fist about and if he hits my nose it is OK as long as it doesn't kill me! I mean it is more important that he be able to express himself by waving his fist around. than have to control himself in any way so I am not injured.

Their logic breaks down, which is not surprising with the liberal mindset. Most of the liberal legal framework is riddled with contradiction and special interest fingerprints, although, truth is, Republicans do the same, just for different groups. Reason to dump the whole mess and start over. Maybe we need the Party of the Disinterested to run, although I am sure that party has very, very few members.

Are you sure its not covered already? I bet it is covered by Medicaid at least.

Isn't that amazing, but in reality, are not Big Pharma as eligible to rake in whatever the traffic will bear, as any other business? That would seem to present some kind of Objectivist dilemma, where does the social interest outweigh the individual or business interest.

Still the vast amount are felonies, but the real issue is that if you infect another person, that should rank right up there with shooting them, as it is still bodily harm.

Here is an article that shows the criminal status in each state for HIV covert sex status. There is a pretty wide spread of legal repercussions, and the states that regard it as misdemeanor are not particularly aligned politically.

"Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) is when people at very high risk for HIV take HIV medicines daily to lower their chances of getting infected. PrEP can stop HIV from taking hold and spreading throughout your body. It is highly effective for preventing HIV if used as prescribed, but it is much less effective when not taken consistently.

Daily PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 90%. Among people who inject drugs, it reduces the risk by more than 70%."

"The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 6.06 to 7.44 USD per month. In the United States, as of 2016, the wholesale cost is about US $1,415.00 per month."

This law definitely looks like a looter scam to enrich big pharma (Gilead in Foster City CA.) Next it will be demanded to be covered by Obamacare and Medicare.

I am sorry, but HIV is still a life changing infection. Sure advances in medication has extended life and minimized deaths, but it isn't cheap. So if you knowingly infect someone, you are adding expenses to their lives and cutting a few years off their lives. And now they are going to give you a slap on the wrist. Why do I get a Hollywood vibe about this? Why should these 'special people' have to worry they could actually go to jail if they decide to give that special fan a roll in the hay.

HIV- The world's first politically correct disease.

Where will you get out to?

I bet he voted for Hillary. Thats the first question I ask when I meet someone. If they DID vote for Hillary, I just get away from them as fast as I can.
HIV isnt a death sentence anymore, BUT you have to take a lot of meds that someone has to pay for, and they do have side effects.

Does that PreP drug prevent HIV? A lot of gay people seem to be taking it now.

Where's Typhoid Mary when you need her?
I didn't think that it was possible for a politician to exceed gross stupidity. Was I ever wrong! If you hate someone so much that you want to give them great discomfort,
by giving them a disease at least don't make it a possibly fatal one. That's a misdemeanor?

That's ok. Who counted on the CA government for remedy in this case anyway? Mjolnir works quite well.

The key to getting elected to the legislator in califonia is having brain damage. the electorate also has brain damage that is how they recognize who to vote for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today California took a major step toward treating HIV as a public health issue, instead of treating people living with HIV as criminals,” Wiener said in a statement. “HIV should be treated like all other serious infectious diseases, and that’s what SB 239 does.”

Lets see if we can re-state this

Walking around with a gun in your hand is not usually a crime....shooting someone is.

Walking around with a fatal communicable disease is not a crime...knowingly giving it to someone...isnt!!!??? Huh? I guess when you are infected and die due to the actions of a politically correct person you are less fatally infected.

Does this mean that if an Aids infected person shoots someone they are also not guilty of a felony?

Personally, I felt underwhelmed. It was kinda like looking at dull-minded cows.

I warned a liberal not to park under a pine tree by my driveway because it drips sap. He gladly moved his car. After a bit , I asked him about The HIV law in California removing felony penalty for infecting someone with HIV . He said HIV is no longer a death sentence and medicine keeps it at bay. I said "I should have let you park under the pine tree" He had a puzzled look on his face.

Yes, Twilight Zone music would be good. I need to lie down for awhile to recover from seeing so many pictures of Governor Moonbeam.

The only reason I can see for it is to somehow please the gay community, who think HIV was a government plot to kill them off, so now, you give it out like any VD, and the state will pay for your health care. Under their single payer silly idea, that would fit, but man, what a cost.
