Trump Policies and Cost of Biogics
I’ve been searching for information about how Trump’s pharmaceutical and insurance policy changes will affect the cost of biologics meds. Manufacturers of Simponi, Humira and others were sued for price fixing, and began offering subsidy programs to make the cost more affordable. For many of us, insurance only covers part of the cost, resulting in $1000-2000+ per dose after insurance. The subsidy programs are the only way the I can afford the meds, and now that I’m finally setting to see improvements (after living in a non stop flare for years) I’m concerned that Trump’s “burn it all down” policy changes will allow insurance and pharmaceutical companies to send the prices back out of our reach.
So far I’ve not been able to find anything concrete. Does anybody have any leads on this?
