The estimated cost of a liver transplant is $577,100.

Bingo. And the number of folks estimated to be running around with undetected HepC is impressive. The drug benefit justifies the expense. There should be enthusiasm for this drug - CURES do not come often. Yes the price is steep but not when compared to the costs of the eventual liver transplant.

running around with undetected HepC

If HepC is undetectable, why do we need an expensive drug to treat it?
