    My dad was pretty stoked that my mom’s expensive prescription was covered by this because every year they had to go through an annoying process of applying to different programs to help cover it.

    Hmmmm I wonder if he’s regretting his vote today.

      I had a refill on one of mine just after the new years that was $660 for 30 days, no generic.

      Doc hooked me up with the manufacturer who set me up with a “co-pay coupon” which reduced it to $10.

      Get this:

      “In 2022, it was the 165th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 3 million prescriptions.”

    I’ll lay odds it boiled down to this:

    “Cell and gene therapy access model: Designed to improve access to high-cost therapies for Medicaid recipients, this model aimed to negotiate pricing and facilitate coverage.”

    Something, something, aborted fetus stem cells, planned parenthood bad, something, something.
