Since when does a private pharmacy have to carry every medication known to man? Apparently, they don’t mind losing the business to another pharmacy. Where’s the crime? Just like if you don’t want to sell birthday cakes that say “Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler”, you shouldn’t have to do that, either. It’s all up to the proprietor.

I was thinking not accepting insurance and then charge $1,000 per pill.

—Since when does a private pharmacy have to carry every medication known to man?—

I make this reply with some apprehension, but, here goes:

It’s not a pharmacist’s job to make medical decisions. If a physician or other authorized healtch care provider writes a prescription for an FDA approved drug, it is the pharmacist’s job to fill that prescription upon receiving appropriate payment. And sure the woman needing “Plan B” could go to another pharmacy IF THERE IS ONE AVAILABLE. She might be in a rural area where there aren’t any nearby; car trouble, bad weather might all be issues, or maybe it’s the only pharmacy that accepts her drug plan. I’m sorry, but all this drug does is prevent a teeny-tiny blastocyst from implanting. Not in the same league as aborting a sentient fetus.
