Baraka... Yes, a pharmacist is just another business owner. Just as a doctor in private practice is a business owner and chooses who he or she accepts as a patient. This is usually, but not always, based on a business model. A private practice must at least break even to stay open. Many private practice physicians in my home state will not accept medicaid patients, and the reason here is financial. It just doesn't pay enough. There is no legal or moral obligation for any given doctor to treat any given patient and he doesn't have to give a reason.
