Order Your Doctor’s Prescription meds online and save money!

So, I would actually like to talk more about various reasons to do all of your online shopping than just reasons to order prescription online. Truth be told, 99% of the reasons you should do any kind of online shopping are the same reasons you should do online shopping for your medications, with only one, albeit a very important one, being unique to pharmaceuticals.

That said, we will cover the pharmaceutical one first as it is very important, and if you click away before finishing this article, I want you to at least be aware of this because it is very important indeed. Canada has a strikingly different healthcare system than the United States. Don’t worry, I’m not here to get political about America’s health care system, though both political parties agree that it is pretty garbage and we need something new. I am simply here to point out the key difference, that being that Canada has artificially low shelf prices to ensure that citizens can always get their medications regardless of their daily financial status. This is offset by taxes in Canada, meaning that everybody eventually pays for their medications no matter what, unless they are so disabled that they cannot work, in which case they shouldn’t be expected to. However, you don’t live in Canada, so you don’t pay taxes there. This means that when you order prescription online from Canada, you are getting those low shelf prices is your literal price without the tax man coming to call.

Yes, you will still have to pay some small customs fees and import taxes, but depending on the pharmacy, they may pay these as an incentive for customer retention and loyalty, meaning that you may not even have to deal with this markup. Now, combined that with shopping for generic alternatives, something that Canadian pharmacies encourage rather than discourage like American pharmacies, and you have built up quite a lower price indeed.

Now, let me advocate for online shopping and online alternatives to any aspect of daily life in the US or elsewhere. Brick-and-mortar locations are stupid, and aren’t necessary for almost any situation when the online alternative is more convenient, safer especially during a pandemic like this, and much cheaper. Without the overhead and shelf space limitations, not to mention various licensing fees, costs for associates and so forth, online pharmacies and online venues in general are just going to be far cheaper no matter how you slice it. This is offset by taxes in Canada, meaning that everybody eventually pays for their medications no matter what, unless they are so disabled that they cannot work

This is going to be the case when you order prescription online, use online schooling, telecommute instead of being in a cubicle or shop for anything else through the Internet. This was going to be the future no matter what, but recent events have given us probably a 2 decade head start compared to where we would normally be at this point, and most estimate that we are now as online with our daily lives as we would have been in 2040 without the stupid virus.
