Of course I am. Please don't be facetious.

But did you even read the comparison? The drug I showed (which was highlighted on Mark Cuban's pharmacy's home page) was still half as expensive by going to a local Walmart.

They're relying on a marketing campaign that "all other pharmacies are evil!" and they're hoping none of the media outlets bother to double-check their talking points. So far, it's working.

Walmart lowers some prices / raises others based on demand/competition historical prices and are regional. Things are not always cheaper. Everything is part of a huge system trying to extract the most profits.

Here is a tip for killing a product at a walmart store:

Buy a product out for 2/3 months. Inventory will raise. Stop buying the product. Walmart will delist. Do this at a few stores and get it delisted regionally. Do this to a few regions to kill it nationally. It could be a product that walmart carried for years.. they will still delist.
