It's understandable to be concerned about the cost of Humira, especially as you approach retirement. Since you mentioned not being eligible for Medicaid and having a 401k, it's important to explore other options to manage the cost:

1. **Copay Assistance Programs**: Humira offers a copay card that could significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Check the official Humira website for eligibility.

2. **Patient Assistance Programs**: AbbVie, the manufacturer of Humira, has a patient assistance program for those who qualify based on income and insurance status.

3. **Medicare**: If you're retiring, you might be eligible for Medicare. While Medicare Part D can help with prescription drug costs, it's also worth looking into Medicare Advantage plans that might offer additional benefits.

4. **Nonprofit Assistance**: Organizations like the Patient Access Network Foundation and the HealthWell Foundation offer financial assistance to those who qualify.

5. **GoodRx**: Websites like GoodRx can provide coupons and information on where to find the lowest prices for your prescriptions.

6. **Explore Biosimilars**: Ask your doctor about biosimilar drugs to Humira. These are highly similar to the original product and might be available at a lower cost.

It's a good idea to discuss these options with your healthcare provider or a financial advisor who specializes in healthcare to find the best strategy for your situation.
