😂😂😂yes , I forgot to mention the post card I get in the mail as a reminder!
Can’t really complain, I worked for Kaiser Permanente and I have excellent insurance through our negotiated union contract with $5 co-pays for most services, even medication ..

If I'm not mistaken, I think @redboat had insurance with Kaiser Permanente.

I know for sure his case of PMR was very severe with extremely high inflammation markers. He was on Actemra and had a good initial response. Maybe he will see this and give us an update.

I have been on Actemra for more than five years. I'm getting nervous about being on Actemra so long.

I had a small copay when I did Actemra injections. Now that I do monthly infusions, there is no cost to me through the VA. I'm very grateful for the VA.!

The doctors from the University Hospital where I worked and received my health care for 30 years staff the rheumatology clinic at the VA. I have limited contact with the rheumatologist I had at the University for nearly 15 years. I could still contact her if I had any questions or concerns.

I only switched to the VA when I retired.
