I posted earlier but it got buried, This board moves fast huh?? <s> I
have just been reently diagnosed with HepC. I have no insurance, and
was wondering if any one here knows if Medi-cal (I live in Calif) helps
pay for the treatment?? I understand it is very expensive. Thank you

GIGI-
I'm not sure about Calif, but there are clinical trials all over the country
that provide free treatment. The two drug manufacturers also have financial
assistance and/or free meds. Check out Pegasys.com and Peg-Intron .com. They
both have toll-free numbers to call for info. Good luck.
Life is good
Mark

Sorry, I can't help. I live in the great wet state of Washington.

Sorry, no I don't. I have private insurance that covers everything.
