There's definitely savings that amazon could deliver.. take the (slim) wholesale profits + add the pharmacy profits.
They did something similar with books.. they cut out the wholesalers like ingram, and negotiated directly with the publishers.. allowing Amazon's retail price to be equal or less than Ingrams price that small book retailers pay... meaning even at 0% markup, amazon undercuts the small book retailers. (this was even before ebooks)
They could do the same here.. giving up the retail pharmacy profits.. undercutting every other pharmacy
Plus, at pharmacies efficiency could definitely be improved.. at the very least by reducing the number of $120k/yr pharmacists that are needed.
