New Drug Cure For Hepatitus C Costs $300 Vrs. $84K For Existing One
As I mentioned here in the past, my daughter received the old cure and insurance paid the $84,000 tab. I was successful, but the damage had been done before that drug came on the market, and she succumbed to the effects among a variety of injuries. Because of her treatments, I learned more than I wanted to know about drug used in treatment of diseases and that drug in particular.
I was told by one of her physicians that approximately 60% of prison inmates have contracted Hep C. Our prisons have a duty to treat the disease. Before the drug combination prompting this thread, if society funds the costs of treating tens of thousands of inmates @ $84,000 each, as duty requires, we are talking many tens of billion$. $300 per would save an awesome amount and cost the drug manufacturers of the older drug (and their stockholders) a mint.
I am interested to see if the U.S. FDA approves this new drug combination and when. I note the article is concentrated on foreign tests and sources.
