This is a non-story as the drugs are now available to every Australian for the cost of a regular prescription. There are no hepatitis C patients that are angered, but there are over 13,000 of them who are delighted to have commenced treatment since March with drugs have been made available on the PBS
GT2:
Really? 13,000 out of 230,000 HCV sufferers in Australia ... 5% may be "delighted" ... however, 95% are angry ... now that's an ongoing story ...
Went back to check if there was as response to it.
Yep ... it was deleted ... say no more.
P.S.
Always remember ... whoever pays the piper calls the tune ...
