I'm now officially a "dead man walking" thanks to LLNS.
I'm retired and have serious health issues. Recently I got a call from my pharmacy. My prescription refills were rejected by my health insurance. The reason was a new contract recently signed by LLNS with the insurer requiring all long-term prescriptions be filled by mail.
There are significant doubts about these mail-order pharmacy's ability to safeguard medical history, whether they will try to distribute substandard medicines, or even if the medicine will arrive in a timely fashion thanks to often inept Postal Service.
Some may think mail-delivery pharmacies are fine. But the choice of whether to use them or not is gone now.
When the other prescriptions run out I WILL NOT switch to mail-order. That will kill me eventually and the blood will be on George Miller's hands. See you in hell you blank!

Out of compassion, I published your post. I used the word blank instead of your expletive.
REMEMBER THE BLOG RULES!
Oh, come on now. Do you really think Georgie cares about your health? He probably sees you as nothing more than a burden on his lab budget.
I don't really understand your problem here.
Well done LLNS.

Clearly he or she feels strongly about access to a pharmacist. While mail-vendors may provide medicine at lower costs it is also true you are not getting the other services a licensed pharmacist can offer. Perhaps that is the true reason for being so upset. It's a reduction in service.
The idea that a purchasing agent at LLNS is writing health-care policy is unsettling. Even more so is the news that private medical information is now passing through Lab hands.
I don't have all the facts about the original poster's situation. So while not fully agreeing with the outlook am going to cut a little slack to the person.
