Enbrel Will No Longer Be Affordable As Of 1/2025. Ideas?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Canton, NY

I’m now getting aid thru Enbrel support, but the income level has been drastically reduced. I’ve been taking Enbrel for years and have had ra for 30 years. The income level has been dropped by $30,000 for a 2 person household and they don’t have any other programs available. Ideas?
I’ve tried Humana - didn’t work and tried remicade but also was too costly.
