Absolutely! Drs, local hospitals and clinics should be notified of this pharmacies decision to not fill certain rx.
The pharmacist should also be expected to put a clearly legible sign at his entrance, his counter and his drive thru window that this pharmacy doesn't carry A, B and C.
That would be abundantly fair and reasonable.
"Steal from the rich" seems more likely, as it's usually the liberals who want to increase welfare spending, etc. and help the poor, right?
Edit -- An issue for another thread, regardless.
they do alot of stealing from the poor. they tax corporations (which is passed to the consumer), they tax gasoline (again, a regressive tax on the poor), they tax the poor by borrowing from the federal reserve and creating inflation, they tax production progressively instead of rewarding it (a tax on the poor as higher tax rates equals more unemployment, less jobs, and more outsourcing). there all all sorts of ways neo liberals tax the very people they intend to "help".
They hate liberty and people with differing view points. This type of group think unfortunately makes up modern liberalism and bears little to no resemblance to classical liberal philosophy.
You might want to turn off the fox news once in a while.
I would say, no they don't have to carry "EVERY" medication. BUT they should be able to get any medication. Just as I, as the buyer for a bookstore, was able to get any book from our wholesalers. I am quite sure they could get any medication, the question is do they want to or not....?
Well and good for most meds. But as Great Day and others have pointed out, some are time sensitive. Plan B has to be taken within 72 hrs of unprotected sex, and the sooner the better. Pain meds are usually needed at the time the pt is in pain. Those are just a couple of examples. My local Safeway pharmacy frequently has to order meds for me/my family. In a metro area such as the one I live in, it should be no problem finding a pharmacy with the med you need in stock, even if it's not your personal pharmacy, or the closest pharmacy. In rural areas, this is harder.

I really think that is an unrealistic expectation. I am a nurse and I call in prescriptions daily. There are literally tens of thousands of meds out there. Sometimes you just have to call around and see if someone has the specific med. Most pharmacies carry the meds the local docs most frequently prescribe. I've called in prescriptions out of state where the pharmacy does not carry something we prescribe in our local area.

Nobody "hates liberty" or "hates freedom." You watch too much tv.
In my notoriously liberal county...things I've notcied that are different from the rest of the country I've traveled in:
- some neighborhoods are not allowed to have visible clotheslines
- there is no smoking in any bar or restaurant....ANY
- any public pool, even at hotels and apartments, need a lifeguard on duty to open (b/c we have a lot of lawyers a lot of them transplants from NJ/NY...its cool for college kids who need a part time thats the only plus
- we are not allow to set off our own fireworks on July 4th
- we have a disproportionate amount of speed traps and speed cameras, many of them in obscene places like at the bottom of a huge hill
- supermarkets cannot carry beer or liquor
- a small water main break and hundreds of restaurants are ordered by law to close for a day
- we cannot have drive-thru liquor places (more "conservative" counties and states next to us do)
- in December, public libraries in theri displays can only include winter stuff but not Christmas trees or any Christmas or Hanukah stuff....we don't want to offend them Muslims and athiests do we?
I wouldn't say that there are very many people who outright hate liberty. I would argue, though, that anyone whose first instinct is to look to the state to solve a given social problem is undermining liberty.

The clothesline thing is happening in newer subdivisions. Smoking bans are happening statewide, get used to it. Yes, those pesky lifeguards, they're good for nothing hey? Stupid post. If you weren't speeding on the hill you wouldn't get a ticket. You don't see drive-thru liquor places in most areas, your point? We can't set off fireworks either, so? Your post has nothing to say, as usual.

The clotheslines thing is a neighborhood policy, not county.
They ban smoking because it infringes on the health and well-being of the non-smokers.
Go ahead and drown, then.
Fireworks are loud. I bet you've called the cops on a bunch of "rowdy whipper-snappers with their devil music" before.
Speeding is illegal for a reason; and if you can't control your speed down a hill, the brake pedal is the one to the left of the gas pedal.
Go ahead and get sick, then.
Public areas can't promote just one religion, duh, and it's simpler to promote none than try to promote all.

Thank you! All these things are examples of regulation by LOCAL government/organizations that are very easy to get involved with and influence. They are not a threat to liberty.
The minute you start talking about national speed limits on local roads, federal policies on clotheslines, lifeguards, religious displays, etc., then you can come back to us and talk about liberty.
