Why do drug manufacturers help everyone under 65?

I believe you mean they do NOT offer discounts to anyone eligible for social security or medicare/medicaid. They are prohibited from offering the discount price to anyone receiving government income - whether that be social security, medicare, etc. That is courtesy of Congress years ago when they implemented Plan D and congress agreed to no negotiating price with Pharmaceutical companies under those conditions.

I’m on social security disability and I receive my Humira through Abbvie, so while the drug companies themselves, with their discount card, won’t accept Medicare, you CAN apply through their prescription assistance program! I have a $0 copay.
