But, are all of the local pharmacies charging the same price? That
sounds like price fixing does it not? There actually seems to be some
competition happening here.

We have a "health care crisis" alright... Big Pharm is breaking it off in
our sphincter at every turn.... wonder how they pay for all those lobbyist?
It's not a tax... it's a fee... we just have 16,000 new IRS agents to
collect the "fee"....

Oh, just remembered: I can drive the blackun to drug store to pick up
prescriptions - may need to stop by bank on the way to re-mortgage the
house, though. For several years, I've been getting my prescriptions
filled at nearby drug store, rather than put up with the hassle of getting
them at pharmacy on base, where they close on weekends, close for
"training," close for holiday, close for commander's call and on and on for
a long list of typical BS. Paying the "small" additional fee at nearby
drug store has been worth not having to go through hassle of base crap.
The fees keep going up, though - 'may hafta go back to base pharmacy.

Have you ever checked around to see if the prices are consistent?
Around here, the big chain pharmacies tend to charge an arm and a leg.
However, in the past few years we seem to have developed a bunch of little
independent shops that are much less expensive.
The drugs cost a certain amount, but in most cases, the "dispensing fees"
are the costs that hurt.
