“Federal regulators this month opened a new era in the treatment of a deadly liver virus that infects three to five times more people than HIV. Now the question is: Who will get access to the new drug for hepatitis C, and when? The drug sofosbuvir (brand name Sovaldi) will cost $1,000 per pill. A typical course of treatment will last 12 weeks and run $84,000, plus the cost of necessary companion drugs. Some patients may need treatment for twice as long.”

At 1,000 bucks a pill, the Hep C+ will have a long and happy life coursing through my veins, even if I don’t.
It’s more important to me that I keep food and shelter while I can, than to try and extend my three score and ten.
