In rural areas many times there is just one pharmacy. I have had the option of waiting two days for them order a prescription or driving 50 miles to a larger town to have it filled. Many, many people do not have their prescriptions filled locally. They either cannot obtain the medicines cheaply enough or do not want people to know what conditions they are being treated for.
It's not as easy as driving a few miles out of our way here. We didn't even have a doctor within 30 miles for a few years and now the nearest obstetrician is 50 miles away. Trust me, it makes for some speed records being set on "the drive to the hospital."
