If you've been procrastinating, it's time to stop: There are only six days left to purchase health insurance in the marketplace at Healthcare.gov.

Our friends at Kaiser Health News report that the last of four Florida insurers who got blasted by AIDS activists because their ARV meds were so expensive finally agreed to cap patients' monthly payments for Atripla, Complera, Stribild, and Fuzeon.

More than one-third of silver plans offered on the federal health insurance marketplace at Healthcare.gov may be listing inaccurate or incomplete cost-sharing information for prescription drugs. Apparently their formularies don't fit the federal government's online template.

We run the sixth installment in the series about the struggle to implement the Affordable Care Act in Mississippi.

Our friends at AIDS.gov share a few of the Federal resources related to enhancing social media access for people living with disabilities, including those who also have HIV/AIDS.

We wrap up with a story from Colorlines about how in some states where same-sex couples can legally wed, some employers that formerly covered domestic partners are requiring them to get married to keep their partner's job-based health insurance and other benefits.

Finally, if you're in Chicago, join us from 9 to 12 on Wednesday morning at Conference Chicago at University Tour where the #KnowBetterDoBetter tour will share Chicago-specific results of the HIV Workforce Study with the public and media.

Yours in the struggle,

Phill
