        Most prisoners are eventually released. Failure to treat endangers their lives, others' lives, and balloons care costs.

        I had a client who they paroled rather than pay for treatment. But for the cure's cost, they never would have granted parole.

        if a private insurers pays for the Hep C treatment, and presumably, Medicare reaps the long-term "savings" is that fair?

        if you treated all Hep C patients in CA = the annual budget for k-12 education, ~48B, is that market equilibrium? Hope not

        reinfection for IV drug users can be considerable in some cases, should society accept that as sunk cost and double treat ppl?
