What amazes me is they keep issuing patents on these specific drugs making it impossible and illegal for any other company to manufacture a generic version, therefor creating a monopoly in which companies like Biogen Idec can go to the consumers and say pay us $5000 a month or this disease will take you over and you will be physically impared for life! And there is nothing anyone can do about it because they are the only ones who have access to the drugs.

Which of course in turn forced people to become dependant on medicaid and medicare to help cover these expenses. Even when I was working full time, I didn't make $5000 a month. And I sure didn't have an extra 2000-3000 lying around to spend on any of the other DMDs.
