This brief passage is about Austin lawmakers trying to pass a bill for citizens ages 13 to 64 to get tested for the HIV virus. The author also states that legislation requires medicaid and other insurance to pick up the tab. I personally don't have a problem with the bill being passed, but I also feel that it is a personal preference for an individual over the legal age to have a choice in the matter. Being that the HIV virus is an extremely deadly virus, and all citizens should want to get routinely checked, the fact is,not all Americans have insurance to pick up the tab. So I also feel if the legislator is going to pass the bill, they need to include people who don't have insurance.
