Incredible costs for a prescription biologic [View all]

[COLGATE4]

My wife has suffered from Chrons Disease for ten years. In the past it was more or less controlled by infusions of Remicade but last year the Remicade failed to work, so her Gastroenterologist prescribed a different Biologic, STELARA. Unfortunately Stelara has a retail cost of more than $21,000.00 a dose and, in her case, must be administered once a month. There is no copay assistance for any patients who have Medicare. The cost of these products is both ridiculous and abusive. However given the present administration I have absolutely zero hope that anything will be done to address this. Wish we were Canadians.
