Best insurance for RA

I have had RA ( no RA factor) for 35 years… so lots of levels of meds and costs. The biological ate the highest. If you will need them eventually maybe cover for them now - they charge 5–7k about depending where you are. I pay nothing as I have Medicare and blue cross blue shield - pay a big annual but then all set. I recently started another IV for immunogloben IGg deficiency for another like cost and that’s all covered. The initial RA drugs were not too expensive ( prednisone ( be very careful of pred.) and hydrochloride) but they have to chance now and then. Drs often try gold or methotrexate early - not too bad.
Check what’s coming!

Thank you!They started me on prednisone, and sulfasalazine-after.
Also, I asked my friend, and he asked his friend with RA.
She takes Humera shots every two weeks, along with an 800mg Ibuprofin every night.
She uses an Rx card (discount) that you have to ask your doctor for. She pays $5 for 2 shots (covers one month) with that special card. She doesn't even have insurance right now.
Humira is the correct name. 40mg injectable pen. Abreva is the manufacturer.
She thinks without the special card the shots cost $8000 each.
So, now I breeze easier:)
