How is the cost so low? we bypass the pharmacy middleman.

ooooh okay that is really neat

How do I get the drugs? order it from our pharmacy.

Wat?

They bypass the people who sell drugs to existing pharmacies by operating their own D2C pharmacy themselves.

Instead of:

Pharma co -> Distribution -> Pharmacy -> You

It's:

Pharma co -> Cost Plus -> You.

Cost plus is still a pharmacy by definition.

From their site:

"We work with Truepill pharmacy, our trusted fulfillment partner to fill your prescriptions. Truepill has a team of accredited pharmacists who will ensure your medication is safe and delivered to your doorstep on time."

Oh, and guess who owns most of TruePill???

There is very little new in the PBM/Pharmacy world from what I've seen, just more layers of redirection and subterfuge :)

Yeah, I'm very familiar with Truepill. They're the secret sauce behind many companies: Hims, Nurx, Roman, etc. Truepill is a _dominant_ supplier of drugs to many companies at this point.
