Buying things in warehouse lots costs as much as retail. News to me... And to
most of the advertisers. Discount buying has been a long time tactic in
shopping.

Samething can apply to medical supplies IF the government wasn't owned by the
phamacutical industry.

I heard a government official say that it would amount to price fixxing if the
feds bought drugs for people. They could set their own price and who could
stop'em... No one I would hope.
