The problem is that new users of iD do not know that they are adding tags like healthcare=pharmacy and dispensing=yes.
I reviewed the pharmcies in the cities I have mapped, and found that I had added healthcare=pharmacy to 8 features unintentionally, since I used iD for my first year of mappping. Also they all have dispensing=yes, which is mostly true I think, but I do not recall checking any option to add this, which makes me question whether the tag has any meaning when it is automatically added by iD.
