    Prescriptions, which she can dispense, and lab tests are extra, but Molaska said in an interview that they are often much less expensive when paid for out of pocket rather than as part of an insurance plan.

    Yeah no. Certain generics sure, but collective bargaining is much more effective than allowing the market to run wild with perverse incentives.
