For more than a decade, he has watched from behind the counter of his
pharmacy in a converted pool hall as businesses slowly blossomed along
Annapolis Road in Prince George's County. Then the biggest retailer in
the world arrived, offering $4 prescriptions and always low prices.

People are loyal to the almighty dollar and nothing or nobody else.

Of course. It is the American way; free enterprise at work. I don't like
shopping at Wal-Mart for several reasons, but I don't begrudge their
right to legally do business.

here is a gross need for competitioin in medical items. If
Walmart does it bless them.

A local druggist charged premium prices for years. His busness
had became very small. Recently the local paper reported that there
was an investigation of the filling of qestionable prescriptions.

It has been long acepted that medical people of all types
need to be held to higher standards. In my lifetime thngs
have changed.

We are payig for so much of the media bills now. An Ad every five
minutes. Not the best mode to handle this. We see a record rate of
bankrupty of peopole with health problems. It might be a sign of a
very faulty society.
