GoodRx sells your data to the highest bidder btw (That bidder possibly being a MAGAt hate crime organization.) https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/02/ftc-enforcement-action-bar-goodrx-sharing-consumers-sensitive-health-info-advertising
Oh, I wouldn't use them to buy medication. I'm just using them to check the retail prices.
I know that their Costco prices aren't correct though; if you're a member and paying out of pocket, Costco will enroll you in a prescription savings plan.
I never knew Costco had a pharmacy lol. Ive never been
They do, and you don't need to be a member to use their pharmacy. You also don't need to be a member to see the optician that they usually have there, and in at least some states, if they sell liquor, you don't need to be a member to buy liquor.
I'd always wondered how that shit worked.
If a non government funded organization gives you something without asking for money they are 100% of the time selling you as the product to someone else. Hell even if you give them money they'll still make you the product (See the recent ford patent for the always listening car that plays tailored ads.)
Not news to me. The blatently breaking the law is what I'm surprised about, what would get them to believe there were no consequences?
The same thing that would get cellular providers to sell location data to all cell phones unconsentually. Money https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-cell-carriers-selling-access-to-real-time-location-data/
Sigh. What is this life.
Just things for the revolutionary amongst us to consider in their op-sec.
More like BadRx amirite
So does your CC company.
We just want affordable medication. We don’t care about our data.
I'm sorry you have been brainwashed not to care about your data. I will not be sending thoughts and prayers when you are targeted by a group of people who want you dead and bought your data to make it a reality.
Shitty take.
Oh, you can’t afford to pay 5x for your medication? I guess you deserve whatever hate crime comes your way then.
You're misconstruing what I was saying. The user said two statements. "We want affordable medication" and "We dont care about our data". I agree with the first one, not the second one. Purposefully not caring about your data is the part I have an issue with. If you have no other choice then you have no other choice. This is not what the User was implying. The user made a statement that they did not care about their data and that is why they would use GoodRx. They never said they couldn't pay for medication without it. Other countries dont have to sell your data to make medication cheap.
