oh, SURE, Dick...but that is outside the scope of this exercise..*grin*...blatent "added charges" just because they can charge it to insurance is well-documented. I just want to know if the standard, over-the-counter price of asprin is fair.

...and the 99 phenomenon is another pet peeve of mine..I'm sure stuff is often raised to 99, rather than lowered from 34, but it is still not what I seek.

I really, really am curious what basic, everyday prices are inflated way beyond what would give the producer an honest, reasonable profit.
