22. Looks like the half baked federal government has managed.....

to put the pharmacist and the insurance between you and your doctor. My bets are that your problems hinge on language inserted by legislators in thrall with insurance and big pharma. Language which obfuscated the meaning of the regulation to the point that the original purpose is forgotten. Then someone excuses the resultant failure by calling it a problem of unintended circumstances. Clever, these weasels.
