> I highly recommend checking out the terms of trumprx.gov - not endorsing the entire government here, but it is actually working and quite cleverly written to ensure Americans are getting the lowest cost drugs in the world now.
Brief research indicates otherwise unless you're talking about a handful of Brand name Rx. For generics, CostPlus and other options are still better pricing.
This might vary in pre vs postpaid accounts. Postpaid typically includes credit check which requires submission of info that could later be used for collections.
Lockdown without adequate support to mitigate the known negative effects, sure. We know what can happen from a lockdown and can plan accordingly. We also know the long term effects of flu (not nearly as severe as what known about Covid, so even loosely comparing the two is irresponsible).
We may overreact for the unknown effects of Covid, but it's sure convenient to say we should do nothing instead and oops later if you underestimated (which is interestingly exactly what happened at that start of the pandemic and got us to our current death rates). Sad that your preference is all for the sake of leisure and convenience, perpetuating a system dependent on low wage service laborers that are offered no choice in the matter.
We have other options, but a flat refusal to offer or consider any does indeed leave every man for himself. But careful what you ask for, because when you force people into such desperation they will only put up with so much before deciding to take back or destroy it all.
Not to mention hundreds of thousands more with heart damage and other long term effects of infection that are still not well understood. Death should not be the only metric of disease severity or burden.
