I had shingles in 2000. I had to go to a hospital emergency room to get a prescription for painkillers, since the extortionists (aka medical professionals) require permission before we serfs are allowed to buy many drugs. It cost me over $300 for what should have been about $1 worth of oxycodon.

You are paying for $299 worth of emergency room, not $1 of oxycodon. However, I do agree that distribution of drugs in the USA has become a franchised back office sales game of all rent and no responsibility. I don't like that.
