Most of the MS pharma's have financial assistance programs that are based on income. Have you looked into that yet?

Please contact Shared Solutions (http://copaxone.com/AboutSharedSolutions.aspx). Ask for the financial assistance department. And good luck to you!

Amazing how a drug which has been used for MS for over 15 years can still cost $ 40,000 year...which is more expensive than when it first came out!!jaykateri wrote:Any tips on were to go to get health insurance to cover the copaxone drug?

Many choose diet to treat MS. There are studies showing drugs do no good.

It seems for every study there is an equal and opposite study. A variation of a physics law!
I read today that Copaxone will be off-patent soon. That opens the door for generic versions. Could be less expensive for jaykateri.

What these companies have been known for is to make a slight alteration to the drug and then get another patent for it. They don't allow their cash cow to disappear!Sparky10 wrote:It seems for every study there is an equal and opposite study. A variation of a physics law!

I applied last year to Shared Solutions and did not get any assistance from them. Has anyone found them helpful?
