'Healthcare shouldn’t be for profit ever, it’s a human right,' said jvn.
In anticipation of his new memoir coming out, Jonathan Van Ness has revealed his status as being HIV positive. In an interview with the New York Times, Van Ness talks about being diagnosed at Planned Parenthood when he was 25, an experience that turned him into a lifelong supporter of the organization. He recounts his journey to self-acceptance, telling the publication:
ADVERTISEMENT By talking about it, Van Ness aims to destigmatize the community and to also draw attention to how the high cost of healthcare affects people living with HIV. In fact, it’s because of healthcare that Van Ness has chosen to endorse Elizabeth Warren for president, writing in a tweet: — Jonathan Van Ness September 25, 2019 “The moment I knew I was endorsing @ewarren was last month when I misplaced my HIV meds. It cost $3500 to replace them out of pocket with “amazing” plantinum level insurance. Healthcare shouldn’t be for profit ever, it’s a human right.” In a follow up tweet, he also writes that his medication consists of one daily pill, making the exorbitant price especially heinous.
Thank you for your support, @jvn! Shoulder to shoulder, we’re going to fight for #MedicareForAll. No one should be able to make a profit off of denying people health care—and together, we’ll win. pic.twitter.com/8aF4Ut55jq
