This is the CEO of pharmaceutical giant, Gilead Sciences. He makes $54 million a year - paid for by taxpayer-funded health programs. Meanwhile thousands of people cannot afford or access their lifesaving HIV/AIDS medications.
The system is broken.

This video is from a protest today at the Hershey Candy Store in Times Square, New York.
A Hershey-funded boarding school in Pennsylvania rejected a 13-year-old boy for admission because he’s HIV-positive. You have to go all the way back to the 1980s to find AIDS discrimination like that. People are outraged.
AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the largest global AIDS organization, is calling for a BOYCOTT of all Hershey candy. We are asking people not to buy any Hershey candy until the company speaks out against AIDS discrimination at the Milton Hershey School and facilitates the boy’s enrollment at the school. Send a message to Hershey that AIDS discrimination is NOT acceptable.
