Sticker Shock: When @Walgreens in Texas wants to charge me $300 for a prescription that my direct primary care doctor in Maine could give me directly for $5.
When people see these exorbitant prices in healthcare, remember that government is the dam blocking choice and competition from flowing freely through the marketplace for the benefit of a privileged few corporate actors.
The reason I can’t get my prescription for $5 directly from the prescribing physician in Texas is a state law that prohibits me from doing so.
The answer is not to build the government dam bigger, constricting the flow of choice and competition even more (aka single player healthcare).
The answer is to take a sledgehammer to the dam and tear it down so the market can flow free.
