STUDIO CITY, Calif.?Just over 50 members of the adult movie and internet community met today at the Sportsman's Lodge, site of many past such meetings, at the invitation of the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) to discuss the future of healthcare services for adult productions in the wake of the bankruptcy and subsequent closing of AIM Medical Associates, the industry's primary STI testing and treatment organization.

Mann stressed, and Duke agreed, that the fees charged for these services will be entirely transparent, and a sheet indicating how the collected monies will be spent was handed out at the meeting. Duke also noted that a yearly accounting of income and expenditures for the program would be produced and available for any of the program's members to see.

One thing that Duke stressed over and over is that the program "will grow and change because of you," and that it is "not going to be perfect coming out of the gate." She said that FSC is still in the process of vetting clinics to perform the required services, and in answer to a question from the audience, assured the audience that performers will be able to move easily from one testing center to another with no interruption in their ability to work. One of the criteria for selecting clinics for the program, she said, was their willingness to charge approximately the same prices for tests that performers had paid to AIM.

This program doesn't seem to be as bad as you are making it out to be. I like the transparency, willingness to improve, increased privacy, national scope and matching of AIM's pricing.
No Fear, Just Knowledge!
