Which would be entirely reasonable cost as part of a healthcare visit.
When people complain about healthcare costs, they're not complaining about things that cost the same as a cup of coffee locally.

Median household income in US is $83k so 0.04/125 * 83k is about $26, much more than cup of coffee. If you're sticking like 15 kids a day with the same needle, that's like $400 a day saved.

I have orders of magnitude more cups of Dunkin each year than I get injections at a doctor
