Change.org Petition Update (JUN 19, 2022) — Hello supporters!
My story will not create change. Our stories and unifying us together on the issues that threaten patients' lives will.
I'm asking today for patients and caregivers to be brave with me and to share their stories about receiving medications exposed to extreme temperatures by mail. I would like to hear from patients who've received hot or frozen medications as trucks and mailboxes are not temperature controlled. Also, you may share a photo of how your medications are delivered. Are they left on a porch, mailbox, or the ground, or shipped in a bag or a cooler with icepacks? Please know that you may remain anonymous to the public. I will keep your name and personal information concealed upon request.
The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) movements on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) such as Optum RX, CVS Caremark, and Express Scripts have been great. Still, we must not let them forget about the delays and fraud of unsafe temperature storage and the lack of consumer protection and justice.
We have an opportunity that will require patient stories. Will you please help by sharing yours?
