True to it's namesake the Ronald Reagan Medical Center will not match funds for employees that do the AIDS/Lifecycle ride. I've received good support from Co-workers but silence from the institute that I work for. Seems like UCLA and medicine in particular would be supportive. I remember Reagan as Governor. During his tenure he did great damage to the mental health system. It was as if a switch was pulled and the streets were filled with homeless overnight. The developmentally disabled were turned over to regional centers and the death rate quadrupled. His legacy on AIDS as President was disgraceful. Links below
