 well the other day sum court sum where nay have set fire to sum of obama care if you sighned up through the federal pool 

lucky for me i sighned up through the state pool ... so proably ok...like my dad said get this thing taken care of while u have insurance ... meaning Obama care could collapse and a new health system could manifest at sum point if i was to make a guess iwould say after he is out of office ..... so like 2017 so i think we are safe but still could happen at anytime if you get on treatment then your set for you were in before they changed thier minds .......

 

as far as the price of Gilleads be all end all pill ya thats a bunch of assA9 bs  1000 dollars pill is greed ..... so in combination with Ledispivr will it still be a grand a pill combo or slightly higher then a grand a pill ..... my gastro says shes never been turned down for sovaldi... so im not 2 worried about it...... im 80 percent sure ILL get it ...i may request olysio..sovaldi combo i hear thats good 2...but i will hold out for S/L combo seeing as i cant start TX till november anyway i hear...... BIOPSY is wednesday Jul30th .... your hollow point needle dont scare me come at me bro ...:) 

  I wana know whats going on in there,,, follow up apointment is a week later for Gastro to go over results.....

 in another strange bit of news so i go to get my blood draw today for lead check before bio... and blood lab recep..says you can get results tommorow cause a washington doctor ordered them and i said what... she says wash law blah blah... in oregon u gota wait a week for your labs ... so i have no clue who will be paying for my TX proably still my insurance ... just wierd how certain factors can speed things up.... ILL try to get my blood lab 2morrow and iLL go over with u guys will compare to the first 1 i gave you ... PEACE OUT be well :) dont worry be happy pesmism gets nobody nowhere ...if life throws you lemons go to another tree

I might be able to borrow my nephew's chemistry lab set that his parents bought him for his birthday.   Between the two of us, Huey, we should be able to figure out how to invent a high quality DAA.  biggrin  Ha!  Take that Gilead.

Yea I know ,, that ____ ! That is why I think we should find a way to do this without Sovaldi, instead use a similar science to find something that does the same thing. And let the public have it,, Make it free like Linux OS for computers is.

The good news is that Gilead is talking about not pricing Ledipasvir as high as Sovaldi: 

"Another Gilead executive, Paul Carter, suggested the company may not price ledipasvir as high as Sovaldi, saying the "majority of value" in its combination with Sovaldi would be in Sovaldi."

http://online.wsj.com/articles/gilead-sciences-reports-strong-sovaldi-sales-1406146546

 

The bad news is that Gilead is still a bunch of greedy b*****ds who are forcing doctors to decide which patients to treat and which patients not to treat.  "Who Gets Saved? Hepatitis Cure at $84,000 Makes Doctors Choose."
