there is almost no chance of that changing, and the medicine wouldn’t be dangerous
it’s not addictive
not expensive
can’t be abused
it’s a common medicine with no black market value
Yet every 30 days, the doctor needs to write a refill. I never talk to him, there are no tests, I just leave a voicemail and they send it to the pharmacy the next day. That doctor adds no value.
Most of us would say I should at least be able to get 90 day supply or automatic renewal by the pharmacy. However a way to save the cost of that useless doctor without actually fixing anything is to have an “ai” do it. Or a cron job
I’ll use myself as an even better example.
I have to take medicine for a chronic condition

that’s in a fantasy world without capitalism. in the current one you’d be getting your refills denied both by your doctor and by your pharmacy.
I do agree though that in cases like yours it should be more akin to an OTC experience
