Fuck Wallgreens hate them. Got Walgreens nicotene patches once, was like 10 dollars less than the brand name, guess I should have looked at how many patches were in the damn box, half the patches as a brand name box, and only 10 dollars less, tell me what kind of sense that is supposed to make??? assholes... and fuck the pharmaceutical companies that rob us too for that matter lol.

Medicaid is a state ran program by the way. Also remember, the payout that goes to the Pharmacy comes from an Insurance Company, not the state

Have you ever stopped to think about the reasons why the pharmaceutical companies are fleecing us? The cost of getting drugs approved by the FDA is absolutely ridiculous. If the FDA didn't force the drug companies to pay so much for approval, or better yet, we eliminated the FDA, prices would go down. The cost associated with FDA approval alone, not including development cost, etc, is around $150 million and around 1 in 500 trial drugs make it to market. John Stossel makes some interesting points about the FDA in the clip below.

With that said, I'm not a big fan of Walgreens either.
