America is in the Darkest Timeline, for health care/"insurance."

My doctor prescribed me a medication. Insurance won't cover it. OK.
So she sent me to GoodRX.com to get a code I can use. Fine.
I figure I'll just hit my normal drugstore. For reasons I do NOT understand, my normal CVS/Walgreens wants > $350 for this medication, even with the code. wtf? Local grocery store? $24.
Healthcare in the US is awesome.

Same medication for the entire discussion, and generic.

The CVS/Walgreen one had to be some kind of coding error.

Nope. It's actually listed on GoodRX's website that way. CVS/Walgreen each own drug distribution/wholesalers (pharmacy benefit managers), iirc. So GoodRx probably only deals with pharmacies that are not tied to drug wholesalers, and acts like their pharmacy benefit manager.
