Ten years after the debut of revolutionary new cures for hepatitis C, as countries around the world eliminate the disease, the U.S. has made no progress. My home state of New Mexico is struggling against the epidemic harder than most. For @nytimes: nytimes.com/2024/04/28/healt…

U.S. Lags Behind Other Countries in Hepatitis-C Treatment (Gift Article)

Despite an arsenal of drugs, many Americans are still unaware of their infections until it’s too late. A Biden initiative languishes without Congressional approval.

Matthew Strait from @DEAHQ gave a clear position that the DEA is here to be a partner, and that the agency should not interfere in the practice of medicine: "We are a public safety organization, we are not a public health organization." 5/n
