It's ridiculous how much it cost for medicine that's all that needs to be said.

[suzy20 in reply to ssdw1958]

I agree completely.

[Debs5997]

It is about time. Cost for the new MS wonderdrug I am taking is $65,000 a year for two infusions!

[suzy20 in reply to Debs5997]

It is absolutely outrageous.

suzy20 When I first started on Copaxone, the cost was about $27,000/yr increasing each time a new drug came out. I'm on Gilenya now costing approx $86,400/yr. It's like they pull these prices out of the air.

It is crazy.

[bxrmom in reply to Iona60]

I agree!! There is no reason that the price needs to climb like it has every year!! I think when I was on Copaxone it was like $14,000/yr but I know it has climbed substantially since then!

Don't know if this will post like I'd want it too, but here goes....this if from the New York Times:

Yes, it's all about the money. A sad reality of this country. The rich get richer, the rest of us get sick, and make the rich even richer.

You got that right!👍😃

Should be interesting to see what they do, if anything.

[Juleigh21]

Yes, YeS, YES! It's about time someone holds these clowns accountable! When I first started on DMTs, I was outraged by the cost of these meds. How dare someone(s) get rich off sick people! I also hate that I'm one of the people on our healthcare plan driving up the cost for everyone b/c a pharmaceutical company gouges us for the meds!!!!!
