The amount of confused euros ITT is hilarious. Yeah, the states is very backwards. Paper prescriptions, paper checks, paper social benefits cards. What most people don't realize, like in the meme, just because a pharmacy gets a prescription doesn't mean they don't call into the docs office to confirm the script. These are rituals from a bygone era that should have been long replaced by computers and near instantaneous communication.

Sometimes if I'm feeling lazy, I get the Doctors move the prescription to a pharmacy closer to my house. Rather than going into town.

Here are Americans with their paper flimsies. But you manage to have electronic voting.
