Nope, still isn't your business. Because it isn't the pharmacist's responsibility to take care of every last person with a medical need. The pharmacist's responsibility is to do an adequate job of taking care of those people that s/he chooses to take on.

That's the problem with a 'right' to medical care: it inevitably intrudes upon property rights in unjust ways. 'Need' != 'right'.
