First of all, the Remicade manufacturer has a program called Remistart to help with co-pays. Also, check with the National Psoriasis Foundation. Personally, I received assistance from the Healthwell Foundation.
I don't know where you live, but a good place to start looking for help is with the local state government. Try the cabinet for families and children. There are certain requirements in each state, but if approved for medicaid, you won't have to pay for treatments. It's worth a shot... Speak with your doctors, many of the drug companies have programs that will pay outright or subsidize your shots. In Canada the Trillium foundation also pays or co-pays for qualified patients to receive high cost medications.
