So practically speaking, many Americans have to wait even longer than those in the UK? Even if they have insurance? And perhaps even a well paying job with good benefits (an assumption of mine based on the setting).
- zdragnar 6y agoI don't know about that particular drug, but I was on a super spendy drug- the manufacturer had a program that would cover the difference down to $5 / month or $25 if your insurance didn't cover it or you don't have any. My insurance wouldn't cover it until I tried cheaper alternatives first, but I didn't want to try those given their fair more serious side effect / risk profile. Because of the manufacturer program, I was still able to get it for $25. I dont know if that would be possible in the UK if the programs arent offered there. Also, no waiting period other than the medicine had to be shipped from a specialty pharmacy that could deal with the temperature storage and handling requirements. There is a bit of a wait to see a specialist to actually prescribe it, but that varies by geographic region and specialty.
