Dennis, I won't complain about what I have to pay. I pay $150 for 7

boxes of the twice-weekly Enbrel. My insurance company allows for a

34-day supply instead of the usual 30-day supply. I had to go round and

round with them before I finally persuaded them that I was entitled to

7 boxes. But I think I'm going to have to go round and round with them

each and every time I get a new supply. I don't think they hire the

smartest people, LOL.
