@firespooks
Insurance covers most of it. How much they cover varies a lot.
If you think Orgovyx is bad Nubeqa or Xtandi cost $12,000 or more while Orgovyx is around $2,700
Medicare has a $2100 per year maximum, Once you hit that, you don’t pay anything more for prescription drugs for the rest of the year. In my case, my Nubeqa Prescription in January covers the whole year.
@firespooks Our Blue Shield insurance covers the Orgovyx. We have a very good plan unfortunately we can barely afford it now due to the loss of ACA assistance.

Through TAF, for me in 2023 & 2024, Orgovyx was provided at no charge.
