Of those 3 million who have hepatitis C, 75% of them were born between 1945 and 1965 so they are Baby Boomers. 75% of 3 million is around 2.1 million people or about 1 in 30 of Baby Boomers have Hepatitis C. Since there are now drugs to treat this ailment on the market it might be a good time to get tested.
These statistics are from the CDC and reported on Brian William's NBC News show today.
