I have no idea how Walgreens' stores will compete with product prices that are nowhere near others in the same market.

I priced a few different generic over-the-counter and behind-the-counter non-prescription medications today, and they cost significantly more at Walgreens than at three other local large-chain pharmacies. One of the meds cost over double at Walgreens!
Walgreens is owned by private equity by the way.

Will #AI fix prior #authorization —or make it worse?
If you’re like me, you or a loved one has struggled through the process of gaining pre-approval for the #medical care that your #physician has recommended. Personal stories abound regarding the tribulations of #patients as they go through hoops to get their #health #insurer to pay for certain #prescription #medications , medical procedures, and more.

…Experts in #pharmaceutical #regulation said the #FDA doesn't have the authority to unilaterally impose a #ban on #medications that have already received #US approval & have long been available without new evidence of a safety problem or finding that the original application seeking approval contained false statements. The FDA can ask a drugmaker to withdraw a #medicine, but the company can refuse.
