I know someone who had it. Not a pleasant way to go. And yes, we're all going to die, but you don't have to die badly.
Perhaps in the near future it will be affordable for everyone.

I think everyone should worry about diseases...just not obsess over it.
We all have (statistically speaking) a million times more chance of getting in the car and getting killed. Yeah, we can wear a seat belt. But still, if you're on the highway doing 70 miles per hour and the front tire blows in crowded highway traffic...you're probably dead.
Even though I know that, I don't worry about it all the time or post scary threads up about it like some people do about disease here on GFY.
Also, it still is not shown that Hep C is transmitted via sex at all (though I suppose if I were to rub open bleeding wounds with an infected girls open bleeding infected wound while fucking her, you could TECHNICALLY say I got it while having sex).
Using the logic of some folks on the subject, I guess if I had sex with a person who had the flu I would catch the flu. And then they would claim that you get the flu from sex too. lol
The other thing I wonder about...now that we have "ObamaCare" here in the U.S., doesn't that mean that the jacked up cost for that pill would be covered by insurance anyway and becomes a non-issue?
Now that we are moving toward socialized medicine, the jacked up (for Americans by the greedy pharma companies) price no longer means anything. It's just a number that they pull out of their ass. The insurance covers it (and of course they don't actually pay that price anyway).
Am I missing anything on this subject?
