Nothing is as effective at culling the population as a centrally planned economy. A diversified economy is resilient. If some elements make mistakes, then others are in a position to move in and fill the wants of the market. With a centrally planned economy a failure is universal. There is no back up. When the one Candidate implements her plan to nationalize the food supply, famine on an epic scale will follow. Just like everywhere else nationalizing the food supply has been tried. Of course, success and failure are subjective. If you want to kill off 10s of millions of citizens then this is a sweet deal. If you happen to be one of the people to be starved to death, not so much. A monopoly on pharmacy services is the latest step in rationed healthcare. We probably all have a "Social Responsibility" score "in the system". Soon that will determine whether or not you can fill a prescription. A final thought. Change is the only constant. Look at the big corporations that have failed and are no more. All the Cloud providers who went out of business and their customers lost their data. (And who knows where those servers went?) When Walgreens and CVS meet their eventual demise, who will pick up the slack? Because of the monopoly, there will just be a vacuum. Another example of the customer well served. Because they want us dead.

I had no idea about the threat to these independent pharmacies. Because of you, I am more aware of just how important this issue is.
