I go to the pharmacy and buy a three month supply of asthma drugs. In the last year or so often they can't give me three months worth. They will mail me the stuff when it comes in.

I am unconfortable with pharmacies doing such tight inventory control. My insurance company doesn't let me stockpile drugs. I can get a three month supply but I can only refill that supply near the end of the three months. What if there was a disruption in the supply chain? Isn't there a risk people could be without life saving drugs?
