Ive seen posts about how the sociopath in chiefs damaging the USPS is harming vets. That alone is bad enough. But the media doesnt emphasize that many other people get meds by mailsome companies insurance plans REQUIRE that you use Walgreens or CVSs or another mail service, or they charge you more for the same meds at your local pharmacy.

(25,253 posts)They send a 90 day supply by mail and it's supposed to be cheaper - probably for the insurance company because it's their mail order house.
I like to have the ability to go to a pharmacy and deal with the same pharmacist every time I get my meds.
I refuse to go to a mail order system. It is impersonal and if you need to talk to a pharmacist at the mail order house it's always a different pharmacist.
I know there are many retirees that prefer mail order pharmacies. They are going to be in a world of hurt if the USPS slows down or crashes.
Trump is just out to kill just about everyone.
