You haven’t said how you know all this.
I can vouch for Seymour. Please check out: http://fixhepc.com/blog/item/33-pbs-listing-almost-heaven.html
So what happens when the ALP and the crossbenchers block the $650 million cuts to health care currently before parliament ?
These bastards are using us heppers as an excuse to further their political agenda to water down the current system. I am sure Ray and his gang of thugs will rail against ripping funds out of the system to treat a bunch of ex junkies.

I share your concerns Paul, so we need to ensure that people are aware that not everyone caught it that way and that those of us who did have been typical Australian workers, taxpayers, parents, grandparents and valuable contributors to society in the often many decades since then.

I understand mate but my main concern is we have become political pawns. The LNP want to slowly dismantle the current system and will try and wedge labor over health care cuts to fund the DAA’s , which should be opposed .

Hi Paul,
I understand that we have become pawns in the game and I suspect that it was deliberate strategy applied for several reasons and ends. However, as heppers, we come in many political flavours and colours so some will choose to fight this at a political level and others will not.
What we do all need to ensure is that the public for whose benefit this is being played out are aware of our story so they don’t just write us off as “once junkies, always junkies” in which case everyone loses.
Edit: And part of that may include pointing out where various groups, be they political parties or professional associations or others, are using us for their own ends without regard for the impact on us.

And while I am happy to trust Seymour, the cuts happened basically at the same time as the funding. We are already making/disputing that link, the public won’t have the benefit of Seymour’s knowledge and I believe won’t care about the distinctions.
Although they may care if we can point out they are being played for suckers when others do use that strategy.

I’ll be very interested to see if Fibroscans are a requirement. If you want one here in Brisbane its either pay up or 6 months wait (and that was before this announcement).
I am also a little concerned as to whether 8 weeks is enough for those without Fibrosis. I certainly have some Fibrosis but not much. There has to be some way of calculating who gets 8 weeks and who gets 12 I guess. And they better not try and make me take Riba or I’ll rage at them
All that said I’ve made the decision to wait and see. Very grateful indeed to James Freeman for making the refund a possibility for those of us who just ordered. Thanks for being such an honourable and courageous man.
It’s going to be a much merrier Christmas in my household.It’s very hard to trust these bastards thats for sure, but I don’t see how they can back out of this deal now.
