Yeah, and let's just talk about that for a moment. I have friends in the pharmacy industry who tell me this, and it's gotten to the point where they're simply unable to sustain that. So, I mean, it's just impossible. So this is a big problem, is that they're just choosing not to stock it, period.
So when people call to re-up, they're like, sorry, we don't have it in stock, and we'll never have it in stock because we're losing money. so much money. Like, why would they? Why would why would anyone participate in a backwards model like that? It's crazy.

Supposedly, they're not even supposed to tell you there's a cash pay price if you have insurance. And I had this happen to me recently. I went in for just like an antifungal medication. And it was so awkward, Dave. Like right before... She filled it. I walked up and I had a GoodRx coupon. And I said, you guys can go to GoodRx.com and print off coupons. And there's always great coupons for drugs.

And I went up and I said, okay, so I have this. And I think it came to like 17 something. And she goes, oh, well, it was an older lady. And she said, oh, well, our cash pay is only like 12. And I said, okay, great. Let's do that. And then this young girl comes up and literally shoves her aside and looks at me and goes, do you have an insurance coverage? And I said, no.

I just got an insurance with my husband, but it's Kaiser. It's garbage. I don't think that like this is going to cover. It's a non-Kaiser doctor prescribing it. And she's like, we need to check. And so she checks it. And when it's all done, it comes back as the stupid price. And they use the good RX coupon and I have to pay the 17 instead of the 12.

And I looked at the older gal like this is insanity. That like this is crazy. And that's a whole other thing, because I will tell you what this happens in the medical industry as well. Like this is happening inside of doctors clinics every single day. It's a I never took health insurance ever.

I've always existed on payment at time of service practice because I don't think we should get third parties involved in our health care or car care or any other care. And complete transparency, give a patient an estimate, tell them exactly what it's going to cost. If I veer outside of that more than $100, I agree to eat it. And like I eat the cost if I have to.

And like that is the kind of transparency I function on because I cannot believe what medicine has turned into. And not only in my lifetime, because I was a really sick child, so I was always in and out of doctor's offices.
