What is outrageous is that Tamiflu is only available by prescription.
Once the Flu reaches CDC “widespread” status in a particular County it should automatically become OTC.
Cramming sick people together in MD’s waiting rooms just to get a Tamiflu scrip invites the public health disaster we are witnessing.
People don’t get co-pays for over the counter drugs (but they can use medical cost savings accounts).
People who can get their allergy meds for $10 a month don’t like having to pay $25 a month and are happy to have to pay their doc for an office visit (and blood tests) to get a renewal of a prescription so they can by meds and get a “discount”.
