0:00.0	Hello, hello, hello, welcome to your morning news show.
0:02.2	My name is Philip DeFranco, and today we're going to be talking about
0:04.9	something that you might not be aware of, but you probably should be.
0:07.2	Today we're going to be talking about the high number of prisoners in the United
0:09.8	States with hepatitis C, and even outside of prison,
0:12.6	hepsy is a much bigger problem in America than you might think.
0:15.4	So much so that the CDC has said that in recent years,
0:17.9	hepsy has killed more Americans than any other infectious disease.
0:21.5	In fact, in 2013, hei killed even more people than HIV,
0:25.0	tuberculosis, and 58 other infectious diseases combined. And the more recent numbers do not
0:29.6	look great either. Right now the Department of Health and Human Services says that there are more than 3 million people in the US living with chronic hept C.
0:36.0	And HHS also estimates there are 17,000 new hepatitis C cases each year in the United States.
0:41.5	But part of the reason that the numbers are so high has to do with
0:44.3	America's incarcerated population because the infection rate among prisoners is staggeringly high. Some studies have said that one in
0:50.1	every seven inmates in prisons has Hep C and it's even been estimated that
0:53.8	one in three Americans with the disease pass through a correctional facility in
0:56.9	any given year. But here's why those numbers are important even if you've never
1:00.0	been to prison. Approximately 640,000 inmates are released from prison every year which means
1:04.4	there could be 90,000 hepsy infected people entering the general population annually.
1:08.7	Now here's the thing, there are drugs on the market that can actually cure hepsy in most cases and I'm not saying treat
1:14.4	hepsy I mean actually cure it and I know that sounds like really really good news
1:18.8	but of course there's a catch because the big fact what this situation is most prisoners are not actually getting these drugs and when I say most I don't mean just like a little under half
