That restriction turns out to be a lucrative one for drug companies. Without the power to negotiate, Medicare is paying far more for drugs than other U. One report showed that Medicare pays 58 percent more on average than the Department of Veterans Affairs for the same medicines. Essentially, we've chosen to let pharmaceutical companies write blank checks for their prices.

Canada has a federal rule that says the national healthcare system -- which covers everyone, unlike in the U. European cancer drug prices are typically 20 to 40 percent lower than the price of the same medicines sold in the U. Hooks, the Vietnam veteran, understands that pharmaceutical companies must make a profit in order to keep developing new drugs, but he is upset by the fact that the U.

Group purchasing organizations and pharmacy benefit managers that oversee U. These groups often earn a 15 to 20 percent discount from the list price and can receive additional rebates if they sell enough of a drug. Typically, the public has no way of knowing how much of a discount a private insurer is receiving because the negotiations take place behind closed doors.

But these discussions became very public in the case of Sovaldi. After the deal was announced, several other large pharmacy benefit managers scrambled to secure their own exclusive deals with either Gilead or AbbVie. If a pharmaceutical company knows it must offer steep discounts to insurers and governments, it may inflate the list price.

The treatment lasts only 12 weeks before the vast majority of hepatitis C patients are cured -- unlike high-priced medicines for chronic diseases which must be taken for life.

That editorial pointed out that the federal government underwrote much of the research and development for AZT, and complained that manufacturers refused to reveal their true costs. So what can be done to grant access for patients like Hooks to the medicines they need? As a first step, U. Schondelmeyer says a truly effective overhaul would require a fundamental restructuring of the way pharmaceutical companies are allowed to do business in the U.

This move would slash the amount Medicare must spend to cover these drugs for enrollees. Obama pitched a budget based on the assumption that Sylvia Burwell, U. If it fails, Medicare could take another approach and only agree to cover the most expensive medicines for the sickest of patients.

But states that have tried to set limits on patients' access to drugs have been heavily criticized. The decision prompted three patients to file a federal lawsuit. For fear of similar backlash , private payers are often reluctant to refuse coverage for a life-changing treatment. Instead, insurance companies might nudge patients toward cheaper drugs by placing pricier ones at a coverage level that requires a higher co-pay.

However, Conti says both methods are imperfect solutions to a systemic problem. On January 20th, I found out I was pregnant with my first child.

They wanted to see where my viral load was at, but the test results came back undetected. I figured my virus was just on a downswing. When I was re-tested four months later, the test came back undetected again.

My daughter is almost five months old now, and I had a final blood draw done on Friday. I got the results today, and the virus is still undetected.

This means I have spontaneously cleared the virus on my own, following a chronic infection. This is very rare. I am mainly just happy that this means my beautiful daughter was never exposed. I attribute my ability to fight the virus to my clean life style. I highly, highly encourage anyone who is Hepatitis C positive and still struggling with addiction, to get clean. There are new medicines hitting the market frequently these days, you just have to keep fighting until you can get on one.

If you qualify for Medicaid, take advantage of it. Hep C was found in my blood lab recently. I started a 12 week treatment and I am happy to say that I am cured. I accepted my illness and prayed to GOD to put the medical team together that will rid me of the illness.

I praise God for his healing power. I contracted Hep C in from the airgun shots in boot camp. I HAD Chirrosis not anymore.. I have cirrosis of the liver do I have to vazzin for that particular deaseas? I really don't live a normal life I'm most of the time sick. I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C, but I was able to recover from it in a month and a half on my own, and I used alternative treatment remedies. By the time I was 16, in , I was a full blown heroin addict, and I was injecting Intravenously using upwards of 26 bags a day.

At 18, in , I was diagonsed with Hepatitis C while in a court ordered long-term treatment center in Pittsburgh, PA. I was devastated because I had been safe I thought I was being safe. I never shared needles, cotton, spoons, or water with anyone Anyway, I went to a gastrointestinalogist and my viral count was high but because I was only going to be there another 4 months they didn't order any treatment because of the cost.

He told me to get checked out again upon my release. After getting out, I relapsed on heroin within a couple weeks; we moved to Florida soon after so heroin turned into pills mainly oxycontin and roxicet. Needless to say I didn't go get my Hep C checked on; not until a little less than a year later when I was pregnant with my second son, in I still had a very high viral count but because of the pregnancy the doctor did not want to put me through any treatment.

After he was born, I was supposed to start the treatment but I didn't, and I didn't even have anymore testing done. From to I used harder than I ever had before. I was injecting at minimum 9 roxicet 30mg each and 6 oxycontin 80 mg each a day; that was just enough so I didn't get sick; however, I used as mich as I could buy everyday which was closer to about 20 to 30 roxicets and 10 to 20 oxycontins.

This next part I talk about is about my sobriety and how I maintained it in the beginning, because when you have Hep C, using drugs only makes it worae. On August 5, I turned myself in after running out on my bondsman a couple months prior. After two weeks in jail I went to court, and like an idiot I took 1 year of house arrest and 2 years of felony drug probabtion; I violated 2 weeks later and was back in jail September 28, That time when I went to court I was offered something like 30 days in jail, 2 years of house arrest, 5 years felony drug probation, and hours of community service to be served after my house arrest was completed.

So, I politey asked the judge if I could do jail time instead because I knew I couldn't do it but also because I knew I would start using again.

For my honesty, he graciousy gave me a year in county jail instead of 3 years in prison. The doctor said my viral count was lower than previous years. On January 1st of , we found out another bundle of joy was coming. I went to another gastrointestinalogist 6 times within just a few weeks.

He finally sat me down along with 4 or 5 other doctors and told me I didn't have a viral count at all. That I tested positive on regualr blood panels because of the antibodies, but this time when they did the blood work that show viral count there was none That's why they tested me so many times he said; they didn't want to get my hopes up. I burst out crying and didn't believe it until i saw all the test results.

Not oy that but my liver was in pervect condition. He said he had neber seen anything like this which is he brought in a few of his colleagues, who I answred quite a few questions from each.

It's not unusual for your body to clear itself of acute Hep C, but I was chronic with a very high viral count at one point. It's beleived that people like me can't be cured without treatment; that there's no way the immune system could eradicate the virus, but mine did. I know my story is a bit long, so I'll end it with these words of advice. If you're using try to stop, you can do it If you continue to use don't share needles, water, or cotten, and use fresh needles every time.

Your immune system relies on you as much as you rely on it. Take care of yourself; get clean and stay clean, eat right, take vitamins, excercise, and keep your immune system at it's peak. You're not invincible, Hep C can happen to anyone. If my Hep C had stayed as bad as it was and if I didn't get sober and start taking care of mysel, I'd probably be needing a liver transplant soon if not already.

My story isn't the norm, I've been extremely blessed, and I know it. I've got about 7. S in Psychology with concentration in Addictions and I'm currently earning two Master's degrees, one is a M. A in Addictions Counseling and the other is a M.

A in Clinical Mental Heath Counselling; and right now I'm a counselor intern for adoscents who have drug abuse problems. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope something in it helped. Don't mess around with homeopathic routes, they weren't shown to clear the virus. If you treat the hep c soon enough, it will not do damage.

Don't waste your life. Contact the drug maker, see if they will send you vouchers. Trust your gut, question your Dr, keep copies of all of your medical records and tests. You are your own best friend!! We're all in this together!!! I have been diagnosed last year after biopsy.

And by the way im on the bed alone alone alone and cant work cant eat because of the depresion i need to by on diet. I don't have helpand support from nobody because lonely peson. I need help from liver foundation but how i dont have idea. Thanks for take time reading my story I was diagnosed about 25 years ago and have lived with the filthy Stigma and thought of having to live with this disease all my life.

I wouldn't be able to adhere to the old protocol of shots back when they barely knew what it was as it was just coming out of the non a non b disease and into the what it is called now hepatitis c.

I learned to live with it but I have definitely prayed and had hands layed on me, anointing oil poured on me but still tested positive, not to say our prayers weren't answered yet.

I have come to the point of almost being approved for the treatment but have decided to not get the treatment because of the price of the drug. I can't see or be apart of lining someone's pockets for something that I feel God can and will heal. I do pray for all of those effected by this horrible disease. I absolutely know what it's like to be in your shoes. Don't ever give up hope and I do pray that someday we will all do things with our time and resources out of the kindness of our? I love you all!

My geno type is 3 b. Virus become active agter a month. But all these medicines fail. And no treatment can control my virus. Now i m thinking to start harvoni treatment. Can anybody tell me a liver specialist who can understand my virus and can control my virus.

Diagnosed with Hep C and f3 fibrosis. It was a learning journey and very rough. I had to stop taking many meds and diet change. Harvoni is a Awesome medicine. Peace and Love Rick In I received a blood transfusion during emergency surgery, I had also had a homemade tattoo done in the late 70's. In I applied for a job with hospital and had to have labs drawn. I received a phone call that there was something wrong with my tests results.

I stopped by the hospital after work to speak with the admin. After having a biopsy done which showed level 3 cirrohsis and level 2 scarring, i thought what am I going to do, I was a single mom with 3 girls to raise and working full time. I found a gastroenterologist that was specializing in Hep-C and he put me on the first medication for Hep-C at that time.

I have been through treatment twice with no good response. Ever since that treatment my blood work has come back clear of the virus. You have to trust in God and your Dr. I still have the cirrohsis it's not going anywhere, but God handles it for me.

Good Luck to all of you. Then when I gave blood 15 years later found that I had Hepatitis C. During that time I was unaware that I had contracted it and could not figure out any other way I could have gotten it considering I lived a clean life. Until Harvoni came in existence I had not tried any other treatments due to the fact that I was a single mom working full time crazy job and didn't feel I could function from the side effects the olde drugs had. I continued to talk to doctors and kept up with all the writings on the experimental drugs and blogs about them.

Harvoni seemed to be the magic bullet I had very little side effects and was cured from it.. It's a miracle drug that has the least side effects and the easiest to take. I can only stand behind the one that worked for me and had basically no side effects. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me. What a tremendous mental and physical relief to know I no longer have this bad disease. Living with it was hard mentally and had it's physical challenges.

Join the "no more hep C" club and take the medicine I was blessed that after the first month I felt energy coming back and my blood work showed great improvement and that I was Negative after only a month. I know some are having to buy these medicines from over seas and such, but I have an unopened bottle left. If anyone is interested, message me at? Best of luck to everyone. For employment, my husband and I moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in In at Kingdom Hospital I experienced hepatic aneurysm rupture, lots of blood transfusions, PE, DVT, removal of spleen, removal of gall bladder, septic shock.

Fast forward to December , I had to see gastro doc for colonoscopy. I am 67 years old, female, widow. That particular gastro doc has advised Epclusa for 12 weeks 84 pills. Next 24 pills almost 20K again. I am the typical senior citizen widow with NO assets. I also do not have monies for co-pay of this drug treatment. I don't know how anyone can receive treatment for Hep C because of the drug costs! At 67 I am suppose to go on a wait list for treatment?

I have already lived since with Hep C and no treatment. Why didn't I ask this question years ago? My husband died in , my first grandchild arrived in I am one of those people with numerous existing aneurysms, repairs of SMA and celiac aneurysms, and removal of left lobe of liver and the docs were more concerned about that instead of pursuing treatment for Hep C.

My wife eman she is 34 y infection with hepatitis c since 7 years we know this problem during follow up of pregnant in the third month. My son yassin infect by hepatitis c during cezerian operation and he is 7 years old now. My wife eman take 48 weeks with interferon and ribabarin from to with no solution pcr read till now What can I do now to help my wife and my son to protect our life.

Thx for your co-opertain Plz send me ur safe solution for my wife and my son Epclusa worked for me I did not experience very many side effects I'm 59 years old and have been hep C free for 9 months it's saved my life my energy has returned and my mind is much clearer I'm eternally grateful for my hep C nurses there are the best Harley in Ocala Florida I was diagnosed with Hep C in , at first i was devastated having felt good about being clean from drug use for 2 years.

I did nothing about it for a while as I was still a heavy drinker. To my great dissapointment the treatment didn't work. I was told there was no other treatment. I went back to drinking, being depressed. In I was in hospital through alchohol problems. I got clean and have remained abstinent since. I suffered a lot of muscle fatigue but remained positive and was told in December I had cleared the virus, awaiting my SVR but am very positive and looking forward to doing some voluntary work for the Hep C trust as a peer educator.

Stay positive and good luck to anyone going through this. It's not easy but worth it to clear the virus. I believe I caught it 39 years back while getting a tattoo and when examined I was told I had no damage from it and basically had no side effects from Hep C.

Thank GOD I was big on herbals and exercise. I took Schizandra and a few otherherbals that cleanse and strengthen the liver and other organs. While herbals may be bad for some of you for others it will help, but DO NOT take them while on treatment and until your doc says you are now clean.

While taking Harvoni I had explosive bowel movements, some sleeplessness, lacking energy, and some nights I didn't sleep very well. I just stopped taking Harvoni and my sleep is decent, less explosive bowel movements, and I soon plan on getting back to the gym. Moral of the story is to actually care about your body and do something to take care of it. If I had not done so for so many years no telling how bad off I might have been.

In another 2 weeks I'll be back at the gym. Why, because it's good for you and helps jump start your entire body and mind. Do something to help your body!!! I was diagnosed with viral encephalitis in and I had issues with memory and some balance issues.

Right away they sent me to psychiatrist just to find out they shouldn't have. I was having seizures but they said I wasn't even though I had that diagnoses from another doctor. Then I was falling more frequently and tore my acl. Then in I fell again and now I w a second unconscious. I was there for 12days and in intensive care also. They were giving south meds because they didn't know what was going on. Then my mmonia levels were elevated. I never had any problems with my liver.

Anyway I kept falling and last year in Jan I fell in a store and I was diagnosed with conversion disorder. Now I have a positive ana. I went to school and rheumontologist and she told me if your ana is high that could be nothing. I was told I had a extra vein in my liver. They did the procedure and I had 5. So I have 5 shunts. I was tested for cirrhosis but I don't have that. I went to the Mayo Clinic and all the diagnoses they said I had was a misdiagnosis except the liver but they said it was alright the shunts that was put in.

Then I found out in I was diagnosed with autoimmune encephalitis disease. So now they are saying I need to go to behavioral therapy. When I was there I went to 2 psychiatrist and they were going to send me to a 3rd but they cancelled the appointment.

The other 2 didn't say anything was wrong with me. For years I was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia. They are now saying my ana is real high but they have know answers. Also I forgot to say they diagnosed me wit ms. And the neurologist said I have to deal with it but never said what. That why she said I should go to behavioral therapy. I was told I will get cirrhosis and then need a liver transplant.

Which I am not receiving that. So I really don't know what this could be and know no doctor can give me answers. Has anyone been through this. Oh they didn't say it was hep c either. But I could not effort for the treatment cost that was during After ten year of suffering I heard a good news for treatment and started medication for three months by paying 30 K in the year Unfortunately that madicine could no make me from HCV virus.

They provided medicine free of cost for 6 month course and I am waiting the positive result by March Thanks Surjit I was diagnosed last year and apparently had had hep. One of the illnesses was severe - and I mean severe, I had to sleep sitting up - reflux. Fortunately the specialist recognised it as a symptom of severe hep. I have since been diagnosed with no viral load and have one more check to go before being pronounced free of Hepatitis. Everyone has the right to be treated and something should be done about this.

I have had Hep c for 20 years or more. My son was 6 weeks old when I found out. Now the past 3 months, my insurance payed for the new treatment. When I first started Epclusa the first month I felt better physically and mentally.

I did not read the side effects, I wanted to see for myself if or what I felt was the medicine. After the 1st bottle the feeling of getting better went away. I had joint issues, said not to be a side effect but it was uncomfortable. That went away and at the end of the 2nd my blood work showed me 46 points away from being cured. I have geno type 3 one of the hardest to get rid of the disease.

I feel better, a lot better. The body aches have gone away. Please if you have it, try it. You want be sorry. Bless all of you! I found out the news I had contracted Hepatitis C following my fist blood donation.

I had nipped Home on a Work break during the first week of my new job and found out via a letter. I felt my whole world collapse beneath me. I was at home alone, mind and heart racing. I reached the phone hoping to reach my mother, but was unsuccessful. I opened the iPad and typed the dreaded words Hep C.

In my Mind there was one virus which was untreatable. I thought of Pamela Anderson, and the stories she had untreatable hepatitis C. I discovered I had the same strain! In my mind I had just been dealt a death sentence. I felt as though I was going to die. For first time in my life I felt unfathamoble fear. It was like telling me I had HIV.

For the months that followed I trenched through the memories and the things I had done that left me with regret, trying to piece it all together. Now it all made sense to me, why I had always felt so poorly and tired following a night out. Why my skin had always itched and I spent years going through a cycle of eczema which covered my whole body and face.

And why I had lost jobs through it, not feeling like I could face the world. I went in search of people who were like me, who could maybe offer me so hope and support that I would be okay. I sought comfort in online forums which did provide some hope and relief.

Luckily for me I started treatment soon after my diagnosis and was fortunate to be undetectable by week four. It is now four years post treatment and I am still undetectable. I am one of the lucky ones. There is still stigma. And I am finally over this. I hope I help someone who is in that dark hole where I once was through telling my story. I slayed the dragon. You got this too!

For those of you that are going through the nightmare of finding out you have Hep C it can be scary as it was when I found out. I became really sick and my body functions had started to erode to the point that just getting up was tiring and my system was backing up so that made thing worse.

I was classed as stage 4 cirrhosis. I had been diagnosed a year prior but the drugs they had out involved the use of interferon and I had read about the effects that it had on other organs so I tried to stall hoping for a better alternative.

Now things were bad and I had to make a decision so I got on the internet and started to franticly search for ideas and found out that Abbvie was running some clinical trials of some new drug that didn't require the interferon so I located a hospital in my area and applied. The trial was called the Turquoise III and it involved four separate drugs taken twice a day for a 24 month period.

Every week I would go to the hospital so they could draw anywhere from 4 to 12 vials of blood and after about the sixth week the Hep C virus was not showing up in my samples. One of the drugs not made by abbvie was Ribavirin and it was pretty intense to say the least and has some side effects that cause you to become depressed so my regiment to counter that was I would go jogging to wear it off a bit and keep my mind focused.

The thing I would recommend to anyone is to stay as active as possible because it aids in returning your health back and also keeps your mind relaxed so you don't dwell on your condition. After completing the 6 month trial period they told me that the tests showed that the virus had not returned so I started to work out and eat everything I could that was healthy for my condition.

During this whole time I found a board of great people that are all Hep C victims and they were a best lifeline when the depression set in called Hep C Friends. I would recommend this site to all that have this issue because they will guide you through the difficult times and give you advice on food groups and anything else you want to know.

I don't know if I would have survived the journey without them. They are all super people and I will add the link. I have now improved my health tremendously and my doctor tells me my liver is functioning great.

So dont despair and get yourself active and go see your doctor and get on one of these new drugs now. The cost is sometime an issue but some health insurance covers some or all and the governments are getting involved to help ass well. Dont wait as I did because these drugs are the best and you wont regret it All the Best Terry http: Then, I look up myself and my three Children without any hope again.

I had two test and all confirmed. I learnt some years back my little girl body was itching her and currently she is having stomach upset and she lost appetite. Please I have three children and I believe they might have constructed some. Please I need your help to save my family and myself.

The main problem I'm facing now is routine test and I don't have money for the test. Please any help from lovely ones? Another medical insurance joke. Treated for hep c with peg intron for 6 mos. And SVR or free of live virus ever since. But sick, sick, sick. Feel like I have the flu every day of my life. Turns out I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. All those doctors who said I was depressed or crazy can now go pound sand.

Turns out Rheumatoid Arthritis and Hep c are often related. So do get tested. The RF is not good enough. Look for high crp, fast esr, high CcP, and minor anaemia. You might be experiencing RA and think it is your Hep C or vice versa.

I think there is a chance to beat Hepatits C it on your own. Not many people can, but there is chance. I guess ,according to doctors, I belong to the small percentage of people who could get rid of ot on their own.

I also think whatever I did with food and exercise helped me the most to get rid of it in about 1,5 months. It was not easy,because I felt that my body was nearly giving up, and what might have helped me was rather a combination of things. Another thing is that I was determined to get it out of me!: Well, I have a news for you -these are your last days of being my body, and I will do anything to make you go away, even if i have to eat carrots sticks everyday!

I decided my experience can be helpfull to someone , and therefore I want to share with what I did in hopes that maybe it will help someone esle.

I wish you all the best. Now I am atomic? I have bumps on my arm's, itchy rashes and Depression, so Tired. I hope you can understand what I am saying. I hardly get out of bed anymore. Barbara Hello Everyone I too suffer from hep c.

I have had it now for 18 years and am starting to feel really bad with it. The fatigue and muscle pain is wearing me down. I cannot remember the last time my dreams whilst sleeping were positive so I wake up feeling depressed. It seems to be the same old negative foggy feeling every time. I am just back from the shops and am out of breath and drained. I am starting a new treatment called mavyret and have researched the side affects as being minimal.

I have no life with this virus and do feel like a guinea pig for embarking on treatment but il try anything to help myself and quality of life. For years I have treated myself with herbs and specific ground spices but I know longer have the energy or the money to keep on top of it. It's not just affecting my liver it's attacking my whole body and even though I do not have cirrohsis I still get nasty symptoms.

I cannot wait to get on my treatment and maybe then il be able to wake up like a normal human being. Throughout the years I have avoided certain foods too and maybe this is why my liver is in the shape it is. My liver is not perfect but I'm fortunate it's not beyond repair. Was shocked and frightened when I was diagnosed accidentally by lab work from my GP. I had gone in for fatigue and joint pain.

Tests showed I had a crazy high viral load and high liver enzymes. I also had a very difficult strain to treat. I just wanted to run away. I was worried about my family, I was embarrassed and depressed and frightened. Then I went to great gastro center in dothan ala and took interferon and ribavirin for 12 months. Had some awful skin reactions ribavirin rash and some spotty hair loss. That part was not pleasant, BUT I went negative after first month and still am. The hepatitis C virus does not kill liver cells directly, but the immune response initiated by the presence of the virus in the liver can cause liver inflammation and cell death.

Each genotype contains numerous subtypes, labelled a, b, or c. Early studies confirmed that hepatitis C was transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. An accurate test to diagnose hepatitis C became available in Australia in The test detected antibodies produced in reaction to the hepatitis C virus. It is estimated that 71 million people worldwide are chronically infected with hepatitis C.

Due to the introduction of the new direct—acting antiviral treatments through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme it was also estimated that 30, people were cured from hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis C, other liver disorders, and liver health: MacLennan and Petty Pty Limited.
