The point about prescription fish oil is NOT the price you pay via co pay or the price you can buy an equal amount of EPA ~DHA for over the counter. The scam involved the amount the insurance company, or in the UK the taxpayer for the fish oil.

In the end it isn't the amount you pay on copay that matters it is the total cost of medical insurance. The more we participate in scamming insurance companies everyone ends up paying more. The same thing happens in the UK with Glucosamine Sulphate.

We can buy a years supply online for the same price the NHS pays for one months prescription of the same substance.

Look at the price of Vitamin D2 to the NHS (or to the insurance company) and the cost of the more effective value for money Vitamin D3?

It's a pharmaceutical industry scam and we are all contributing to it by allowing it to continue by getting basic essentials like vitamin D or fish oil on prescription rather than buying our own.
