I am very troubled by the ever-increasing cost of this drug. IT is now $1800 per month. There will come a time when I cannot afford the product once I am off private insurance. I am 61 years old. How do you defend the cost? Biogen records huge profits and yet Avonex is so expensive to those who really can benefit from the therapy. Mr. Mullen
