In the past, anyone traveling or looking to move to the United States who was HIV positive needed a special waiver to gain permission. But after 22 years, the ban will finally be lifted with thanks to President Obama. This article speaks about how many people disagreed with the ban and are pleased that it is finally being lifted. They discuss how it seemed extremely unfair to provide unfair treatment dealing with travel just because of a medical condition.
This article definitely covers health issues in the United States, but also worldwide. Allowing a wider range of individuals into our country could cause a big controversy. This article truly could reach out towards anyone in the US or in another country wishing to travel here. It's such an important article because it literally could affect anyone worldwide.
I think that overall, this is a good thing for our country. By lifting this ban, it can represent to people that we are trying to be less prejudiced. It can also show that we are giving hope to these individuals. So many people move to the USA to start a new life and make things better for themselves, and to allow more people into the country, I think, is a great change.
