George W. Bush Instagram – “When I took office in 2001, the situation with HIV/AIDS on the African continent and elsewhere was dire. A group of advisers including Condi Rice, Josh Bolten and Mike Gerson encouraged me to act before an entire generation was lost,” former President George W. Bush (@georgewbush) writes in a guest opinion.
“In 2003, Congress authorized the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR, with huge bipartisan support. Twenty years later, the results are clear: PEPFAR has saved more than 25 million lives and prevented millions of HIV infections. Members of Congress and American citizens from both parties should be proud.”
Instead of celebrating this success and extending these gains, the president writes, “some in Washington have called the future of this program — which accounts for less than one-tenth of 1 percent of our federal budget — into question.”
