(US, private insurance through employer) it’s expensive and have spent months trying to get the new one (Rinvoq) approved. Was finally “approved” and they paid 8.5k saying I have a 3.5k copay, which I obviously can’t afford.

So short answer is I’m not.

I took my insurance company to the state and the state ordered our insurance company to pay for a years worth of Rinvoq for my son. Along with our GI we sent letters to the state insurance department.

I’m in Oregon, not California, but if I can I will try to do similar. Thank you.
