Don't know how to redo it - HELP BIRD - I did do it wrong - should have let people answer both questions and then added a few I didn't think of - but SallyC did - so how can I fix it Bird ???????

I have Medicare with Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield for Medigap and then just switched in Dec to AdvantraRX for prescriptions - I did research and they were one the least expensive for Copaxone in ME - but still comes very close to what NurseNancy had to report - I find it hard to believe that they expect people on disability without a working spouse or partner's insurance to pay at least $6000 a year for an MS drug !!!!!!!!!!!

The MD's giving out these prescriptions have no idea of the cost - mine was astounded - apparently they think we all have insurance to cover most of the cost and then pay a co-pay of $15 or $25 -

Just make a new poll! Start over

Are you 65 and older?

Are you 45-64?

Are you younger than 45?

Do you have Medicaid?

Medicare?

Group Insurance?

I can't remember what else people had brought up!!!!!!

Okay - I tried to redo the poll and incorporate all your suggestions - it may help some of us who are wondering if we're doing all we can as far as insurance and taking control of our prescription coverage goes - and also how many of us are in the over 60 group and taking one of the CRABs - which really interests me as some of us - of any age - have come a long way with MS just to hear that we could perhaps benefit from one of these drugs - maybe - after years of not taking anything -
