I wouldn't cry about those poor, poor Californians. There is no such thing as a "medicine desert" -- the population will shift to the ever-growing mail-order Rx business. Of course, that means the California towns and cities will no longer benefit from such sales in the form of property tax revenue, or income tax from Rx employees. (Sales tax the state will still get, because of "use tax" collections, but the local governments won't share in that.)
It also means that released patients won't be able to have same-day supply of post-hospital medications.
But The Powers That Be™ don't think of that, now do they?
