Just asking: why would you be trying to get an antibiotic to use against colds/flu, which are viral?

Um, Z-Packs are an antibiotic which are wholly ineffective against viruses.

Is there some issue preventing you from driving to the pharmacy, pulling out your checkbook, and paying retail for this medication and dealing with the reimbursement issue on the back end?
Shocking concept, actually paying for a product I know, but it is an option.

Obamcare: A lot of people are going to die. We're ALL gonna die. O-care may speed up the process. But look at the upside. Every year sliced off the life span is a HUGE boost for SocSec and Medicare budgets.

The Pharmacys also have to try to navigate the Obamacare system to determine in real time if you have coverage and where you are on your deductible at that very moment.

How else are we going to breed the next superbug?

You can’t pay for a prescription med until the scrip has been written (or transmitted) and filled.
The issue is that Øbummer”care” doesn’t fix the flaw in the market.

That would work, provided the doc was prevailed upon for a paper prescription. The busy pharmacy would still be equally busy. Your paper prescription would join the queue behind the ones that have to go through the Obamacare rigmarole.

How true! I’m up there in years, so I won’t be around forever. No big loss for me. I might wake up dead tomorrow....

When the youngsters start to get uneasy about granny’s premature passing, the regime will send out some Groupons for student loan forgiveness.

Bacterial superinfections can develop from head colds that migrate into the lungs. But one would think a doctor would normally at least wait until it has, before prescribing the azithromycin.

That’s the entire plan my friend. That is the reason it was established.

Not to sound evil, but does anyone have a betting pool on when the first death due to nObamacare will be?

The way I read it, he says the reason behind doctors’ offices being backed up is due to the cold/flu season... but never says that is why his son is trying to get a Z-pack.
