You actually do if you are contracted to do so. I know that there are prescriptions that the pharmacy does make money on and ones that they lose money on. You don't get to cherry pick the ones you like to fill. I hope the member complains and the pharmacy gets slapped legally.

Whatever you say, bro. Not our fault the federal government is too deep in the pockets of insurance companies and Big Pharma to stop them from fucking up healthcare more and more. We're not sacrificing the many to help the few.

Major chains, that don't need the money, get multiple times more reimbursement per fill. And like I said, pharmacies aren't ordered to sell at a massive loss. They are told to lie and say the drugs are not available. I'm gonna challenge your notion that independent pharmacies are legally required to lose money until they die. We can manage a certain amount of loss and offset it, but not hundreds of dollars per fill. That's not tenable

Well, I'd never want to go to your pharmacy, then.

Not our fault the powers-that-be want to give the big guys three course meals, while forcing the little guys to fight over table scraps and shaming them for thinking they are owed more. And companies like CVS and Walgreens will still run their companies as lean as possible (by cutting corners and payroll) to maximize even more profits. They're trying to strong arm everyone else out of business to force patients to use their bullshit pharmacies, where you can get your prescriptions filled by a skeleton crew that's stressed out of its mind and is forced to upsell you on nonsense.

We're as much victims of the system as the patient.
