This new drug that cures hep c cost 90,000 for 12 weeks. Have talked to three people who have been through this. Most insurance will stall in paying for it. Saw last night another drug that only takes 8 weeks to cure someone of that.

Nine years ago I was standing in line at Popeyes in Blythe, Ca. In front of me were two senior citizen women and they on their way to Mexico to buy their prescriptions. Seemed they did this three or four times a year and it sounded like they saved several thousand annually going across the border.

*** For you old Hardy Boys readers like me when thinking Blythe think “Mystery of the Desert Giants”.
I actually drove up the Colorado River and visited the site. Was very interesting.
