Hi Michael, I’m sorry to hear of this development. I hope your SVR 12 comes back positive. Then onward to defeating this problem too.
rohcvfighter, well done!
I applaud your effort to help your countrymen. I bet you helped some people to eventually get cured. That’s one hell of an achievement, to save someone’s life
AL, I revised my comments as the woman is not a government official. She is a corporate shill. I guarantee her next job will be a senior position at a pharma company, reward for a job well done.
She’s not corrupt only because she plays for the greed team. I can’t call her a tiger if the team uniform is orange and black stripes.
She’s not corrupt; she is a piece of shit.
If you listen to her, I can’t help but want to kick her in the mouth, however she is not corrupt, since she represents the pharma manufacturers, who are delighted by high prices at the expense of human life. Yay team!
I can’t even view her site while logged in over there. I have been banned
IMO, she is being compensated by Gilead, or maybe even works for Gilead.
Mike started the Affordable Medication chat room over there. What is wrong with the patients there that don’t search for HCV forums on Delphi and find it? And honestly, a google search about generic meds will yield info about Dr. Freeman and Fix Hep C pretty easily. I feel sorry for these people but honestly, they are not trying very hard.
Gilead (and the other HepC manufacturers. None of these meds are cheap) are playing chicken with insurers and health systems.
They keep the price high; it guarantees a steady stream of new ill patients. They make big money.
So far, it is cheaper for the payor to wait until advanced illness onset. Yes, it seems in Australia and everywhere except a few countries, that the money is more important than people. Although in Australia, you have access to generics. But the government is censoring the advertising of these meds. I don’t get this, Australia seems to have a confused government.
In Australia, can the pharma companies make donations to political candidates? If so, there is your answer. And of course, most Hep C sufferers (me included) got this through reckless behaviors. Politically, we don’t matter
In first world countries, we are dogshit to the politicians. Drug addicts; wastes of life. Why should society help us?
Third world people get this disease from unsanitary conditions. That’s why there is more sympathy for them.
Take the bone they are throwing you! They are allowing you to buy your own treatment!
Or wait until you qualify for treatment

Because all the politicians in the first world are bought and paid for. They receive huge campaign money from these companies.
For some strange reason, pharmaceuticals don’t get any scrutiny. Gilead had to pay $11 billion for the patents to Sovaldi and Harvoni. So, I do agree that they need to be able to recoup that investment. But 12 weeks of treatment for $35,000 is what Pharmasset (the company Gilead bought) was going to charge. And that seems reasonable. But $94,000?
