I'd really like to see robotic (light's out) pharmacies become a thing. Removing the extremely expensive Pharmacist from simply counting pills for things like repeats of common medications. This would surely reduce consumer costs with little/zero risk.

The idea of having a pharmacist is outdated and terribly expensive. Most countries dispense medications in blister packs. Why should anyone have to count pills in the first place? Give the patient a 7, 14, 30 or 90 count blister pack and done.
