what the actual fuck, how much does this stuff cost


Ehh...if you want perspective:

Adalimumab costs about 3 grand USD a month to administer, and AbbVie (the company that makes it) is a top stock company (I'd like to say S&P 100) making 20 billion USD in revenue annually.

It's not anything special or niche, just a topical anti-inflammatory gel.

"As of 2015 the cost for a typical month of medication in the United States is 50 to 100 USD."
hmm...

You don't want to know how much all my meds have cost.

Lets put it this way. Without the insurance I have, I'd have been broke years ago.

Jk after insurance, so far it is under 1k

We are so lucky here in NZ, it's free. Right up till they are 12 - 13yrs or somewhere around there, even some or most medication for the m is free or $5, hardly ever over $5.
