Is this any way to run a health care system?

This is a little off the real estate topic but it's something that started to bother me yesterday.

Recently, my wife and I have had a run-in with various ailments, most notably my wife came down with asthmatic bronchitis, which was both annoying and painful because of the shortness of breath and constant coughing. Luckily, she works for the Federal Government and has great health insurance. She dutifully wen to the doctor who gave her antibiotics. When her condition didn't abate she called back for a more in depth consultation. Unfortunately, the primary care guy was now out-of-town and she was referred to a local health center (as opposed to an emergency room at a a hospital).

The heath center took close to six hours to see her, treat her at the center for short term relief and they pile her on with prescriptions to be filled when she left. That was bad enough but here's the kicker. We took the 'scripts to the pharmacy at our local grocery store (Giant) and they have a little promotion going on: you get a 5% discount on groceries after every fifth prescription filled.

That's right. The more drugs you can get your doctor to prescribe to be filled at the grocery store's pharmacy means you get slightly cheaper food.

Is it just me or is this a truly bizarre way to run a health care system?

First, it indicates to me that food is 5% too expensive from the git go.

Second, it encourages more trips to a physician to load up on drugs which drives up health care costs.

Third, it encourages greater drug usage which drives up health care costs and may not be beneficial anyway.

Somebody please show me why this is a good idea.
