Are we being ripped off by the big pharma companies ........ Yes most definitely .....shame on them .... Reinstating a product at vastly inflated prices......., and why...... Because they can

So like I always say. "Vote with your feet" You don't have to use their product, it's your body and you own it. So choose what you feel is worth it, or what you feel is working for you. We all have a choice, I would never take methotrexate again but not because of cost.

I'm happy as I have also said with Stelara, but if I had to pay for it then; No I would have to find an alternative.

A lot of people seem hung up on the cost of treatments, but I think it's available, I've paid my dues, it works, so I'll take it thank you.

It's not always a choice people have to vote with their feet in the UK you take what you are offered ..... Yes you can protest and ask for something else.... But if it's to expensive for the health service or in other countries insurance companies .. The drug won't be prescribed except in exceptional circumstances.... I think the reason I'm hung up on the cost of treatments is not because mine is expensive because it's not .... It's because I have seen several cases on here where treatments have been denied members purely on the grounds of cost..... And I feel that is so wrong ..... Not many can afford to pay full price for their treatment and even with help from the manufacturers they still have to find a fair amount of money .... Which isn't always available
