- DoreenMichele 3y agoThe idea is a prescription requires human judgment to decide this is a wise move. If you take out the credentialed human, you might as well just sell it OTC without a prescription.
- hollerith 3y agoThat would be OK with me.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoI don't really care that much either way. Just explaining why, as things stand currently, you aren't likely to get a cheap "tech" solution.
- qwytw 3y agoIf you already have a prescription and just need a refill it doesn't seem reasonable at all (I mean charging $200+ for it, having some human oversight is fine).
- DoreenMichele 3y agoNor did I suggest charging that much was reasonable.
- Mockapapella 3y agoI’ve heard it’s due to excessive regulation
- neuromanser 3y agoPlease elaborate why said "tech solution" to a societal problem wouldn't end up with the "tech solution" provider undercutting the incumbents by a thin margin and pocketing the most of the difference? I'm not against somebody making money by eating into the fat cats' margins, but this sounds like merely making a different cat fat, without a substantive improvement for patients.
