[quote=Anonymous] For the past 10 years I have taken a biologic drug for rheumatoid arthritis that my insurance company says costs $5200 a month. I have never paid a penny out of pocket although I have dealt with the maze of prior authorizations, manufacturer co-pays and multiple specialty pharmacies. The biologic drug does work better than the much cheaper alternatives at keeping my inflammation near zero When I was a young child the inflammation was severe and left me with still-visible joint deformities. But since I have been an adult the inflammation has been low-level (but non-zero) even when I needed to go off the biologic drug due to insurance problems. I am thinking that biologic drug might not be worth the expense. Even if I don't pay a penny, I am contributing to overall health costs, for a minimal benefit.[/quote]
