Medicare recipients are about to get relief, which solves much of their problems.  Next year, all costs for drugs will end after the donut hole, which for these expensive drugs will limit a persons out of pocket to less than probably $5K due to the way costs and the manufacturers contribution is calculated.  In 2025, the total drug cost will be  $2K, which for many is still a considerable sum but a big relief for those of us who can under Medicare pay $10K for just one of the biologics.  However this does not change the fundamental underlying problem of the manufacturers manipulating the system and putting out their disingenuous commercials about pending legislation that will hinder drug development designed to limit theses abuses.   Big Pharma has one of the biggest lobbying efforts in Washington
