My guess is that the Viagra sales will be brisk. :) Seriously, I wonder how they'll handle the liability of filling prescriptions, and shipping them. Is this something closer to 1-800-FLOWERS, or will they only sell over-the-counter drugs? Gary, Just had a brief conversation with someone(who's sister is a pharmacist locally) from my office; her opinion: 1. Major liability/licencing issues 2. Insurance processing/reimbursement issues 3. Ordering Issues - Can you read your doc's prescriptions and enter them into the computer accurately...How many olderly people can do that?? 4. Most people fill their prescriptions on a timely basis...Via Fedex/ups delivery...there is temperature/logistics issues...medicine is no books.. 5. 6. 7. Even if there is some limit opportunities with the OTC drugs such as acne & etc...there will be more than enough players in this field.. Gary, I think I like the Lobster idea better. :)
