'RxPass'. my god. burn every insurer down. burn amazon down. our health cannot be turned into a subscription model.

Boycott this nonsense. Wow. I boycott everything Bezos. My life is sublime.

And when something goes wrong and the delivery is missing (as happens often with Amazon) then it can take a week or two or more to resolve it and get urgent medication. My pharmacy has it either the same day or the next. I have had bad experiences with Amazon.

Yet they do away with their Amazon Smile charity. Greed

Another peculiar Medicare exception for this. Why? Because Medicare is a cash-cow for pharma and drug-channel middlemen.
