Absolutely. I'd prefer to go to the pharmacy and just pay my $20 and go.

Do you prefer sunny (Greece) or snowy (Norway)? You can just pay your $20 and go. It is an option.

I prefer to pay thousands in tariffs and/or private companies, thank you very much. I'm not a communist.

That's usually how it works for me in the US. I go in to the pharmacy, and at least half the time they say 'no cost' and hand me my medication. Sometimes I pay a $25 copay. And if I get an expensive drug from Eli Lilly (e.g. Zepbound) then Eli Lilly pays Walgreens up to $1950/year on my behalf and I never even know about it. The only way I figured it out myself was trying to figure out why my insurance said they paid X, and I paid Y, but I had actually only paid $25. Took a trip onto a Zepbound subreddit to learn about the backdoor payment thing. "Savings card" but not actually a card.
