There was an article this weekend in the paper about certain drugs -- mainly those to treat childhood cancer -- increasing in price by about 7%. Was just skimming the paper and didn't read the article, but thought at the time, I wonder if this means orphan drugs will be increasing in price.

Reached our out of pocket max of $1000 for drugs earlier this year so we pay $15 for a one month supply or $30 for a 3 month supply (increase for 2008). I do need to get pulmozyme later this week...

On those assistance programs I have found your family income has to be pretty darn low for them to approve you. Are there different programs out there? I sure can use it too cause I pay $225 for a 3 month supply for pulmo, tobi and a few others!!! Help!
