Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

Wanna see an obnoxious #darkpattern? This pisses me off.
When I go to my online pharmacy to refill a medicine, I see the medicine, doasage, refills, etc. and an opportunity to pay $31 using the "discount program." If I want to, I can click a button to "Get Insurance Price."
Oh look, with my insurance the price is $0.00. I wonder why they put that behind an extra click?
