Duty of the government
The eye clinic in KTP hospital prescribed 5 bottles of 15 ML Refresh Tears to me. I paid $25. The cost is $5 per bottle.
I checked online for the retail price at the pharmacy. I was surprised that it retailed for $15.20.
The government probably bought it at a lower price due to bulk purchase and gave a further subsidy to the patients.
In this instance, the government has done what it should be doing, i.e. to provide the benefit to the citizens through bulk purchasing.
They should adopt the same approach to many other cost of living. That is their duty.
