    I'm a patient that got slammed with a copay accumulator after doing everything I could to avoid it (and a $3,000 copay I have to pay myself this week!) Thank you for this super informative video on the ins and outs, very impressed with all the info presented. I will try to get involved with the advocacy for the federal legislation and see if I can find some sponsors in my state (Oregon) for the model legislation.
