servicemen & women. Hep C,V.A. denial , VA coverup's

Hi there was a man inquiring about other's who believe they caught hep C while serving our country. I believe he might of been refered to FIGUY or Mikesamillions...Looking for the post...
   There is a woman on facebook she represents Vets. She said they are trying to change the rules where a vet does not have to prove how he/she got it. She says it is now one of the main ways to get hep c now. reused vials, medical equiptment, unchecked blood, unsanitary dental and med equiptment. innoculations, blood by injuries, etc., She said many vets dont even know they have it. They are attempting to change the law, so vets are covered w/o having to prove how they got it. They are also attempting to rally against Arizona's denial of transplants. They feel other states will follow...The young womans name is Silva Price. on Facebook. I believe there is a group called Nomads I believe. I will be posting more info about these groups representing vets and folks in Az. who need transplants. Lots of you probally already know of these groups. So feel free to add info. Please (since I obviously forgot to write down all info. before I switched forums) Thanks

I just read that vietnam era vets have as high as 65% rates of hep C. Thats alot! Im guessing a vietnam vet would be nearly 60 age wise?  Also just read vets are 5 times more likely to get hep. than us non Vets.
