Basically, this is the pharma - health insurance industry nexus, that jacksup prices of drugs, making it looks like an amazing deal for those getting the drugs through insurance.
For a new patient needing this drug, he/she would think "wow, I pay only $1000 a month of insurance, and I'm getting $109,500 a year worth of drugs for $5000 only."
Without fixing pharma+healthInsurnace nexus, healthcare in the US feels like a ripoff, whether you are rich or poor.
