Hep C compensation plan diverges by pre 1986 status
Health Minister Allan Rock works on an offer that would deny compensation to hep C victims infected before 1986 while providing enhanced medical services. The plan would fund provinces to improve care for pre 1986 victims, with later infections between 1986 and 1990 receiving about 1.1 billion in combined federal and provincial compensation. Calgary doctors Swain and Lee report low death rates and optimistic cure projections, with interferon therapies showing 10 to 15 percent single-year success and potential future cure rates of 60 to 70 percent.
