You think anyone ought to be able to buy, for instance, warfarin and freely take it without a doctor’s involvement?

Yes.

Triple yes! Most of the people buying it have been buying it and using it for years.

  • Why do you think only the people taking it would be buying it?

      I don't. But the cost of access is significant. And with pharmacies in India, China and Mexico willing to ship basically anything into America, it's a purely-cosmetic tax now.

Why? Why, specifically, do you think an adult without HF should be able to buy a random drug, likely by accident, and start taking it?

I guess I don’t hate everyone else enough to agree with that.
