> I wonder how that latter price compares to the price in the US

My guess is not favourably for the US. My wife was diagnosed with MS about a year before we moved to America and, since I knew we were moving and was thinking about insurance, I asked the pharmacist once what they billed the govt per dose (monthly). We paid $40 out of pocket and the govt paid $1300 AUD.

Our insurance in the US pays nearly $10k USD/m for the same drug.

No wonder why I couldn't process it; this sounds like a complete rort - it's just mind boggling.

More importantly, wishing you and your wife resilience, strength and as much good luck in health as is possible for your journey ahead.
