    Hi Tommy,

    Here is a PDF of the full article by Lucinda Porter that I think you are referring to…

    (when writing a post there is a button below the text box that says “Add File”. You can use that to attach a PDF after you have saved it on your hard drive; you can also just paste the link from your brower directly into the text box like this

    Mike Galbraith, a high school teacher in Arkansas
    took generics with the support of his physician. It’s too
    soon to know if he is cured, but so far, he’s on track.
    Fortunately, he had the resources to obtain generics,
    which is not a choice for those with limited incomes.
    However, it horrifies me that it was his only option.
    There is something deeply wrong when a person can’t
    get treatment for a curable disease because health
    plans decide who can and who can’t. However, we
    wouldn’t be in this position if hep C medications were
    more reasonably priced. Maybe insurance companies
    should think about branching out into travel medicine?

    I wonder who that guy is…….
