The pharmacies aren't the point where price is inflated. It's the pharmaceutical companies, which make the drugs, not the stores that sell them.

- bluGill 7y agoThe idea is their pharmacy can negotiate with drug companies. "Give us a good deal on everything or we get generics instead of you for everything we can get elsewhere" (that is but one type of negotiation)
- ativzzz 7y agoActually it's both. As well as pharmacy benefit managers, doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies. They all inflate prices. See http://truecostofhealthcare.org/conclusion/ http://truecostofhealthcare.org/conclusion/ (scroll to the "Where is all this money going" section)
