Or relax the requirements so you don't need a 6-8 years of postsecondary education and a 250k degree to be a glorified cashier. And that is before even getting into the consolidation of the pharmacy/PBM industry. I've spent a lot of time in tiny poor Mexican towns that manage to have a pharmacy, sometimes several.

I can only imagine every small town in the US would also have an economically viable pharmacy if the regulatory environment here was the same.
