"Free" antibiotics

i’m as skeptical of corporate america as the next guy, but is there really a problem with providing free antibiotics?

i mean, so what if they fill more lipitor scrips? and so what if they’re not losing a ton of money? Five bucks means a lot more to a single mom with a sick kid than it does to publix.

wouldn’t you want to give your business to someone who’s actually doing something good for a poor mom with a kid with an ear infection?

and no, i don’t shill for publix.
