I read an article this morning that stated all people born between 1945 and 1965 should be tested for hepatitis C. Although the cause is unknown people born during this 20 years span have a 43% increase in deaths caused by liver cancer/disease.
The largest increase in deaths was found in the Ohio Valley region.
Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this?

That magically became important shortly after a treatment became available for Hep-c. There were apparently alot of us old hippies that passed it around before condoms came into fashion.
