I'm assuming private insurance is involved. Traditional DMARDs are out of the question for anyone interested in eventually having children, especially women. Other medical issues also may inhibit the use of traditional drugs. Don't get me wrong, it's still difficult to get approved and the monthly copay cost will probably be 2k USD. However, the copay assistance cards can help offset those costs.
Remicade typically isn't used for psoriasis here in the states. After Humira failed, I wanted to try it, but my dermatologist refuses to subscribe it and wouldn't say why. My rheum speculated the reason why is because I'm overweight and carry increased rate of liver complications.
Anyways good luck with your appointment! Let us know how it goes.
