As to the manufacturer’s discounts, the question is not whether S.P.S.’s discount is the same as to other distributors, the thing in question is the difference between the discount to the independent distributors and selling price to the O&P facility buying direct from the manufacturer. (bearing the expense ??)
This all goes back to Tony Barr’s “post” concerning independent O&P facilities being unable to compete in the (very near) future because of pricing differences. And as to Hanger’s Carideo and Kingsley’s Kingley “posts”, they’re not telling the whole story.
