The sooner AbbVie can get that out there, and insurances can choose them as a possible option, the better forAbbVie.  Maybe if Gilead sees enough insurances picking the AbbVie or Merck treatments, they will come down from their price mountaintop.  So far, I'm cool with the AbbVie treatment option.  I haven't seen my 2 week labs yet though to see how I'm responding, but side effects so far have been mild to say the least.

I do not know if it is possible but maybe Abbvie is trying to get approved ahead of time so that people that aren't accepted because of not being sick enough by Harvonie will have somewhere to go.

I thought it was going to be December, but good, sooner would be better. Unless someone wants to get Harvoni before the AbbVie one.

My Keiser doctor is saying there is something else coming out any day now (abvie) so maybe I should wait seeing I had solvaldi over the summer.  They don;t have it yet anyway.  Booooo
