Very good film.

Highlights the cost of the treatment. Am I right in thinking that all Hep-C patients now have access to these drugs? Or is it still limited purely because of cost?

But actually whether its hep-c or any other disease. If treatment is held back purely because of the cost I think you have to question the system in which this allowed. If the pharmaceutical companies can still turn over a profit then the drugs should be affordable in my opinion. Making enormous profits and still holding back drugs is just wrong in every sense.

it seems like hep-c patients are treated differently because if you have a heart attack or break a leg, the cost of treatment might be just as high, but its not viewed in the same way?
