I used to think medicine shipped to my door was great too. That is, until I lost my job. My benefits were cut off immediately (the company did a layoff at the end of the month on purpose) and I could no longer access my medication. Despite having a script with the company and plenty of refills from my doctor they outright refused even if I paid cash. I ended up going 2 weeks without medication and having to get an ER doctor to write me a new script. my primary wanted an entirely new visit to rewrite an existing script because they didn't believe my story. Between this and being treated like a junkie when I need a hold-over dose of a non-addictive non-narcotic medication makes me hate the cards I was dealt. Pharmacists are complicit in this even though they frame themselves as victims of the system as well. Those kickbacks from drug companies and doctors are just too damn good. Anyone who actually deals with the medical system knows these services are not a universal good. I always advise people to stick with GoodRx and a local (physical) location for medication so you don't get you medication promptly cut off when (not if) you lose benefits.
