Stop making me pay for an office visit so you can renew my annual prescription for allergy medicine.
This is the only legitimate point you made. Although there are real reasons for you to have to see a physician to renew seemingly harmless meds.

I'm not in the medical field and so could be wildly wrong, but I suspect this isn't a legitimate point either.

The prescribing doctor doesn't dictate what drugs require a prescription. That's a matter of federal regulation.

I'm sure there's a physician's lobby that works very hard to make this happen, but the doctor you happen to be seeing doesn't have the time for this.
