Like I said earlier, the content of this site can be posted anywhere, and as GT elaborated there are ways around the geoblock. It’s interesting to me, because in USA we get ads on prime time TV from the pharma companies. Harvoni is advertised almost daily!

I’ll just say this, and let me preface this remark by saying I hope I am completely wrong, but I think once TPP goes through there is going to be a real shit storm over these generics.

I see my blog here has over 4000 views, I hope that maybe 200 people in USA were able to feel confident enough to get generics from that. So at a discounted rate of $50,000, that means Gilead lost out on $10 million in revenue. They are not going to stand pat and not try and do something, and multiply my efforts by 1000 from this site and that is $10 billion USD they lost.

Fuck em!

Haha, Matt I have to agree about Trump. I would be surprised if he did anything about this issue, but I don’t think Hillary will do anything either.

They rail against prescription prices, just like they are against TPP. Whoever gets in, I bet money TPP passes either way. And nothing happens about drug prices.

The only thing happening is CUSTOMS IS BLINKING. I have lived here most of my life (Born in Canada).

What I have observed is there are laws that do not get enforced. Officially, these meds cannot be imported. But they are being allowed through. No one yet in USA has reported that their meds were seized and destroyed. Every so often, they put on a show and seize the meds and make people beg, and then relent. But officially, these meds, as FDA approved medications should NEVER be allowed in, especially in generic form!

Cough up $1000 or wait for insurance approval (F3 +)

USA!

I also read that insurance companies continue to limit access to only the sickest patients, and that many are given only 8 weeks of treatment (less than 6 million VL) that is also cutting in to earnings.

Congratulations Matt!

Let the journey begin

Hi Gaj,

I agree that it certainly won’t hurt to get support for generics in to the mainstream consciousness. From an American perspective, I just don’t believe it will be effective; our laws will not allow generics until the patents expire.

My comments were actually directed at the majority of posters just moaning about the greed of pharma. They are not aware of generics. Posts about generics on the mainstream sites are great, it may help bring change!

But I believe that the availability of generics for a small amount of money, is a great opportunity in USA. I would have had to spend lots of money on specialist visits and blood tests had I actually received meds from my insurance carrier. I’m actually happy I was able to pay $1400 and get the meds and just go after 6 weeks for a VL test. I used less vacation time! As I have stated I am a cynic; it’s all about the cure NOW in my book. If the economy turns down, it may be harder to get these meds through insurance.

The comments posted on that site are useless!

I posted some info about TPP recently. It looks like “they” are going to ignore/suppress info concerning generics. Gilead has a patent! In the 1st world countries, the health systems will not embrace generics for 20 years! They can’t, we have patent laws. All these people pissing and moaning about greedy pharma, while valid, accomplish nothing! It is the clandestine access to generics that is real – why we are all here. Push this site, the Redemption trials or Incepta and their hepatitisctreatment@gmail.com email. As Dr. Freeman has stated, time may be short for access. The mainstream access will be decided by TPP. TPP is a done deal folks. It’s going to happen. My insurance company (Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Florida) was hoping I would die before they had to give me treatment! They wanted me to wait until I was on the transplant waiting list (F4) Incepta is who helped me! Anyone wanting treatment has to spend their own money and get treatment. $1000 for a cure seems reasonable to me.
