People still dying with hep c in 2018? Isn't that illness curable today? Weird. Anyway, r.i.p.

It should be, but the US health system is a shambles and J-Sin is just the latest victim of the medical companies' greed.

The treatments are 100% effective. They just don’t work for some people.

Yeah like those who can't afford it and are left to die

Lol k

The hep C drugs that are on the market (like Harvoni) are about $100k for a three month treatment. It’s insane what they cost.

The fuck is happened this week? RIP

@gschwen exactly. And considering he'd needed them since he was 3 years old because doctors fucked up his blood transfusion (he was in a serious car accident), he was paying for those meds all his life through no fault of his own. And it reached the point where it destroyed his liver and he couldn't get a transplant.

The way the US medical system works isn't right something needs to be done

R.I.P, anyway.

Terrible! R.I.P.

If something like this ever happened to me, I'm moving to another country.

"Loose" is a nu-metal anthem. RIP.

Aye, I've been spinning Introduction to Mayhem and (The) New Release this week.

sad news. RIP

RIP

what a coincidence that also Primer 40 vocalist dead at 55

Good fucking lord $100k for a three month treatment for Hep C? My dad contracted Hep C 20 years ago and was perfectly fine and I'm pretty sure he never even saw $100k in his entire life, lived off of disability in a shitty ghetto section 8 apartment and was perpetually broke for his entire life. Either shit has changed drastically or I guess my dad was an immune system badass of some kind.

He wasn't able to get disability, the local authorities didn't allow it because, like the UK, they probably declare people in comas as fit for work.
