Postal Service delays of prescription drugs put thousands of American lives at risk. “Those drugs are pretty important to me — they keep me alive,” says Ray Carolin, an Air Force veteran and former Secret Service agent.
“I’ve heard from young families with immunocompromised children waiting for days for mail to refill their empty prescriptions in the suburbs of our major metro areas,” the senator added. “The Trump administration’s sabotage at the USPS is felt across Pennsylvania, but we know that it is particularly harmful to rural communities.”
“In some cases, the insurer just really may not allow it, and then they may charge them a lot more,” Fox said. “Logistically, it's a hassle. They're going to have to make phone calls and try to get things switched, and it's not an easy process to do that.” All of them likely depend on the VA for their prescription drugs, and most receive their medications by mail.
