Hi Emily,

Thanks for the link, although I've already gone through Tx here in Washington state, I could have easily not had the right fibrosis score to qualify for Tx and been denied. My score was 59 which is at the very bottom of Stage F3 but patients shouldn't have to wait until they have Severe Fibrosis or Cirrhosis where damage is already done.

Glad to see this, this sets a president for other insurers as well ... it's all good.

 

Dave

At least once a week now, I get on facebook and see some trending news about Hep C. 

 

Today's article trending - 

Judge orders Washington Medicaid to provide lifesaving hepatitis C drugs for all

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/judge-orders-apple-health-to-cover-hepatitis-c-drugs-for-all/

 

It's an extremely uplifting thought, to think that one day in the future this disease could be a thing of the past for everyone.
