Details, details. But let’s just yell Trump’s Fault!!! instead.
VA has experienced an influx in mail-order prescriptions during the coronavirus pandemic as entry restrictions at facilities have prevented large numbers of patients from refilling their medications in person, a regional VA official told CNN.
Still, VA spokesperson Christina Noel told CNN that the department as always used a variety of prescription delivery methods to ensure timely delivery," **and insisted that those delivered via USPS “are averaging less than three days delivery time.”
“More than 95% of VA prescriptions delivered via UPS next day service have been on time,” she added, noting that the department “continually monitors prescription delivery times throughout the country.”
