I'm trying to understand a bit more about Tasigna costs and the US
healthcare system. I live in the Netherlands and am looking into moving to
the States due to a better job position at the moment all medicine is free
for me due to the healthcare system here. How much do you guys pay out of
your own pocket each month for the medication (150mg per pill at 4 pills
per day)?
Do you pay the full 5k per month or do you get a large chunk back? I'm
basing my job choice on this because if I can make more money but go broke
due to costs then I'd rather stay in Holland.
