>But the volume can't be that low if the pharmacy has it on hand all the time and doesn't need to special order it. OTOH, this is Boston. Rest of country, parnate scrips are probably few and far between.
And yes. My daughter lived in Canada for 10 years and there are lots of gaps in that system - drugs, dentistry, slow scheduling of elective surgeries, little long-term care. UK, France, Germany and others are much more comprehensive. Of course, nothing in the US is free. Even Obamacare s**ks. My daughter pays $300/month for a policy with a $7000 deductible, lots of co-pays and a pitiful network of providers. Dental care is not part of any health insurance policy, even the very best employer-based policies.
