Cost of treatment

[Fred]

I just got the bill for my next Stelara injection; I pay USD75 (about 57 euro), my insurance pays $11,292 (€8,648).

Now my employer has filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, not only is my pension in jeopardy, who knows what the medical plan will look like next year.........

Ouch! That's expensive. the price of mine is €3,250 although it's paid for by the French government, as psoriatic arthritis is classed as a long term illness. I don't know how your system works but is your medical plan separate from the company you work for and could you continue to make the payments yourself ?

Interesting the difference in cost from different country's, I think the UK is a similar price to France but I'm not certain. I wonder how the drug companies justify such a huge difference!
