I posted yesterday about insurance companies pushing you to use certain pharmacies. After reviewing that post I felt I need to expand on that a little bit.
When Clean Harbors sold its transformer division, the company that bought it wanted us to use CVS as our drug dealer. The problem was the nearest CVS was 80 miles away in Owasso, Oklahoma. What they really wanted us to do was use mail order for our drugs.
Rural America has developed a serious mail theft problem. This is bad enough when the junkies responsible for the theft just took the opiates they prefer. Alas, ours are completely illiterate and will take almost anything with a pharmacy label on it and abandon the stuff they don’t want down the road. Fortunately for me, a few months later CVS built a new store in Bartlesville, cutting my drive in half and keeping me off the mail order program. Since I went to Bartlesville on a regular basis, this wasn’t too inconvenient.
