Cherie,

I have contacted all of the infusion centers within 100 miles of my home and have discussed infusion costs with dozens of hospital billing departments. Even with my insurance, the costs are about the same - very high.

The costs for those infusion centers that are not within my insurance plan are 50% higher, and so they were not even considered.

The amazing thing is that if I had absolutely no money or assets, the entire treatment would be free (both the Tysabri and the infusion center costs combined).

It is clear that only the middle class gets squeezed when it comes to medical costs.

At least I still have a pulse, a good life, and a sense of humor!
