This is the problem with Obamacare. My old "substandard" health insurance policy did not have Hepatitis C coverage. In that this is a disease affecting mostly intravenous drug users and gay men I felt that I did not need this coverage. Now with the Obamacare mandates I will be forced to pay for Hepatitis C treatments for this group and my insurance rates will go up substantially. Thanks Obama.

Sovaldi saved my friends life. The previous regimine wasn’t successful and with out Sovaldi, she was looking at bleak prospects.
She also had less complications.

...with the Obamacare mandates I will be forced to pay for Hepatitis C treatments Even without the Obamacare mandates we will be forced to pay for Hepatitis C treatments for prisoners. The courts will decree that not treating them with this drug would be cruel and unusual punishment, as bad as not giving prisoners sex change operations on demand.

Was this drug developed with research paid for in whole or in part by government research grants?

Apparently, Hep C got noted sodomites Gomer Pyle and Jack Kevorkian.

On the bright side, this may just be the Medicare/Medicaid killer we’ve been waiting for. That’s going to be the biggest market for this drug, and they’re forbidden by law from negotiating the price.

Must have very active lobbyists. I hear them pushing the idea that boomers mysteriously have a high incidence of Hep and that all were to be tested. Sounds fishy to me.

Hep C—another “social” disease for drug users, sodomites and prostitutes for the most part. But, I guess, we are not to interfere with anyones pleasure so we will be paying for those poor choices.

Isn’t CVS Obama’s chosen pharmacy?
Hubby picked up a script the other day. It was a generic drug. Copay was right at $20. Insurance paid $120ish. For a generic med. Crazy.
