Hi,
You have to get proactive because some hep c viruses respond very well to medication and it's important to get the virus under control because it doesn't go away on it's own. Try calling your human health and service department and see if they can direct you where to try to get insurance. You could also call hospitals in your area because many have programs for income eligible people. Another resource would be to look for hospitals in your area that might be having hep c research programs. You usually get your health care and medications for free when enrolled in a study.
It's easy to try to ignore problems but it's better to put all your efforts into trying to get yourself some decent health care.
Good luck,
Sue
