[QUOTE="ZombieHunter, post: 1902171, member: 5791"] So I am inbetween health insurance, one month without it....and I needed a prescription filled, well Walgreens wanted $116 for 10 of my prescription, Then out of nowhere my friend whos parents own Windsor Park Pharmacy said I should go there, as they dont screw you, well long story short I got 30 of my script for $14.33!!! That means walgreens is marking up drugs 700%, please someone inform me how that is legal? Price fixing much? The pharmacist at windsor stated my script cost $4 per 30 at his cost, and walgreens is assured to get it even cheaper than that, how is this not price fixing? Who gave them the right to grossly profit off other peoples sickness? Serious question, I understand capitalism, but if you are ok with people being charged 700% markup on something that costs pennies per pill you are sick in the head. And no Windsor park does not subsidize anything, they just dont believe in profiting off of others misfortune, and guess what, they still profited $10 on my script alone, $10 profit off $4 is an amazing ROI, how is that not enough for mega corp Walgreens?
