When it comes to mail-order pharmacy, patients with chronic conditions often have to risk their lives to get medications and the care they need.

I was walking up to the pediatric intensive care unit where he had just been transferred and observed a doctor/nurse standing outside of my son's room in a white coat holding a clipboard. It was as though she was anxiously waiting to tell us something urgent…
