I take Remicaid, which has technically been on the market longer than Humira and still requires me to go in to an Infusion Center to get hooked up to an IV for 2hrs every 8 weeks. The ‘full price’ cost of my treatment: $16,000 just for the Remicaid.

They have a co-payment plan that, for the most needy, would effectively make the drug free. For me, my insurance gets billed a few thousand and I would have a $250 copay, which they pay.

It makes me wonder though, has anyone ever paid the full price, or is it just astronomically high to maximize the ‘charitable’ deduction side of their business?
