THIS is why government needs to hire & work in coalition with people who use drugs. The best way to know the biggest & newest threats to drug user health is by talking to folks who use drugs. We can't wait 5 years for federal agencies to start addressing benzo dope.

NVHR & CHLPI just launched the new phase of #HepatitisC: State of Medicaid Access, which considers an expanded range of barriers to #HCV treatment access for Medicaid beneficiaries. Progress has been made but there is much work left to be done. stateofhepc.org/chlpi-nvhr-lau…

We are up in Albany demanding we invest in eliminating #HepC in New York!

We are committed to eliminating hepatitis C by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2030 goal, but we need these funds to make that a reality.
