London, ON

I live in Canada
Have tried to get extra insurance but I was told that I have to many medical problems that they would not be able to except me.

My husbands company doesn't have any medical plan.
I cannot afford medication for my psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.

My doctor has looked into injections for me but the cheapest one she could find was 307.00.

I can't even afford that.

I have sent a email to our premier twice and I did not receive a email back.

Does anyone have any idea's.

Thank… read more

Hi Marilyn! I am on Taltz and it is working great for me! Since I had tried every treatment there was with no success my derm thought Taltz was worth a try. I appealed to the drug maker (Eli Lilly) and I met their income guidelines and I qualified. I take my week 12 shot in two days, and since it is working for me I will now go to just 1 injection a month. I could never afford this med on my own! I'm on Social Security Disability due to MS and my Medicare supplement only covers the stuff that doesn't work! Good luck, I hope you can get on something that works for you soon!

My Dr. office always handles that part they call Medicare to get a preauthoritation as I am on disability also and they approve something for 1yr and at the end of the 1yr the Dr.’s office calls again. One nurse stated that big Pharmaceuticals dont want the media attention as Otezla for 60 pills is close to 4K a month and that is uncalled for I don’t understand it. Without the preauth I would never be able to afford that....

Contact the Pharmaceutical company for assistance.
For example, contact Amgen for Enbrel Support
