Really? Wow.

I don't understand any of the red tape and how this all works... but I get my medication through a pharmacy (walk in) and I'm covered by my work insurance + a copay from the Copaxone assistance program.

I never saw a change in the cost of my medication versus the stock market. Is it a quarterly or annual change? That's rather interesting...
