Sounds like this is just a small town problem really. Its not the fault of medical care in the USA if someone cant get meds in their own town. Some doctors can be dicks and not give you the meds you need and if it's really a problem the hospital the town over should be able to supply the proper prescription.
The op could of have this taken care of if they just paid the urgent care some extra money (60$ if I recall an earlier post) . You want fast service you pay more that's how it work. If your life is going to end in 2 weeks without the meds 60$ ain't that much. If not tough it out for 2 weeks.
Medication can only be doled out when the doctor prescribes is it sounds like all you have to do it wait. No doctor worth their salt would turn down someone with high blood pressure.
Doctor refuses to write more blood pressure pills, my blood pressure high

I live in a small town in Australia and this problem just would not arise.

And risk a stroke or heart attack from dangerously high blood pressure? That's a good idea .... NOT
I'm in Kansas City, that's not really a small town.

My GP faxes scripts through to my pharmacist if I ask for them by phone and leaves a hard copy for me to pick up & take to the pharmacist later.
But then, he's probably not trying to make people come in unnecessarily so he can make more money.
