The promise of interferon-free treatment should keep the majority of HCV patients "sitting in the warehouse".

I'm sure those who can afford waiting few years, will wait. Not so sure they are the majority among diagnosed patients. Treatment is generally advised for all diagnosed chronic patients (in opposed to people who are infected with HCV but can be asymptomatic for very long time), with more than portal fibrosis on liver biopsy and moderate to sever necroinflammation (ie METAVIR score =>2 or Ishak score =>3), cause they are at increased risk of developing cirrhosis.
