You don't think the response of no means of transportation and the next pharmacy being 45 miles away isn't serious Jseal? I agree with Lilith it's pretty obvious you've never lived in a small town in the middle of the country. My parents live in a town with only one pharmacy* and the nearest one besides that, is 32 miles away. There are a lot of people in that small town without the means to easily travel that 32 miles. I guess that's OK with you though that people in that small town would be denied the medication they need or want.

If you want I can provide you a map of Kansas and anyplace west of Manhatten, easily falls into the category of one or no pharmacy in any given town with a few notable exceptions. Hell most counties out west will be lucky to have more than one pharmacy. This says nothing of small towns in the Dakotas, Montana, Utah etc.




*That one pharmacy is owned and operated by a Catholic.
