How do you afford Jakefi chemo? My insurance only pays for half of it.

I have essential thrombocythemia and was wondering if anybody is on Jakefi for treatment? My Hematologist wants to put me on this instead of hydroxyurea. My insurance only pays for half the cost of the drug. How do you afford it?
