If I'm reading the NICE site correctly, the NHS appears to pay a around 20% of that: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/medicinal-forms/etanercept.html

£715 (approximately $950) for 4 doses, almost a month's worth with 1 dose per week coming out around $1k/month.

Even ignoring the fact that patients here don't pay, just having NICE and a system which will fight drug companies over costs appears to massively bring down the costs of these medications.
