This whole problem could be avoided if the leftists could somehow rein in their filthy habits like anal sex and intravenous drug use.
Are all of the causes of Hep C preventable? If they are, I don't understand why governments or insurance should pay for the very expensive treatment. There was a story on the TV news in which someone said this drug will add $200 - $300 to the annual cost of an insurance policy!
This is one of the flaws of Obamacare. If people are forced to buy health insurance and forced into what's covered, there's no incentive for cheaper cures.
A cure this expensive is not the answer for any disease, realistically speaking. Let those who can afford it pay if that's what they choose.
