"Health care, taxes, energy, favorite flavor of ice cream -- it seems our elected leaders must disagree at every turn. But one issue that has so far repulsed the partisan pressures of the times was highlighted [at the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012)] in our nation's capital last week: the fight against HIV/AIDS," former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) writes in an opinion piece in "The Week." He says, "The conference was a celebration of the remarkable success made because of this leadership, and a call for continued support" in the response against HIV/AIDS. Noting he moderated a panel discussion with Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) and Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) on congressional bipartisanship at the conference, Frist continues, "I witnessed what I felt to be an accurate portrayal of how we got to the point where we could celebrate so many successes. Fundamental to the progress has been bipartisanship."
