Hi Pam, You're right, it is horribly expensive and in my case it was impossible to get insurance at all. I'd been a housewife for thirty odd years, didn't have a work history until I got divorced. Tried to buy it, but it was so horribly expensive that I couldn't afford it. Then, the next thing I knew, there I was flat on my back. I hate to say it, but thank God for Medicaid. It's taken care of everything since I became sick. Of course it refused the Rituxan, but my neuro was able to get it for me through the company. I just don't know how families are able to make it. I really don't.
