Medicare requires large co-payments because of the drug bill that was sponsored by the drug industry that Congress passed. That might change at some point in the future since control of Congress has changed. For those who do not qualify for Medicaid the only other option would probably be Medicaid. For veterans VA would also be an option if someone can be accepted into the VA system which has at times been closed to new patients in recent years.

My grandmother has to take Gleevec for the rest of her life and right now she has received her first month of medicine free through Novartis. We are hoping she will be approved to get it free for a year. We are trying to decide how she will be able to afford it after that. Even if she gets on Medicare Part D, her out of pocket will be at least $3,000. We have gotten up with the patient advocate group and they sent an application in to see if she qualifies for assistance. How do you afford this expensive medicine? If anyone can advise us on this, please do.
