How do you define 'discount'?

If you’re a normally intelligent human being, you would expect to pay less when you use a ‘discount’ card. Right? Not if you use the TogetherRx prescription drug card.

I tried to use this card to reorder a prescription of mine. The per pill cost after the ‘discount’ was 72 cents, and I could only order 34. The per pill cost without the discount was 72 cents, and I could order 90.

We’re getting closer and closer to Orwell’s 1984 where words have no meaning.
