The U.S. Postal Service said the proposed changes would go into effect in 2025. One critic calls it a "recipe for a death spiral."

The U.S. Postal Service on Thursday said it needs to shave more costs from its operations to get into better financial shape. To do that, the postal agency wants to overhaul its delivery logistics, resulting in some customers likely seeing a slowdown in their mail delivery.

    I have this problem. My doctor tried to get me 2 months of my medication and the pharmacist said, “yOuR iNsUrAnCe DoEsN’t clCoVeR tHaT.” Ain’t painkillers or anything, literally my drug to keep me alive. If I wanted to OD theres a lot of easier drugs you could get without a pharmacist.

      I have 3.5 cats on the same medication (0.5 cat is shared custody we watch sometimes). Juggling 4 prescriptions is a pain in the ass. Life would be much simpler if we could just get a Costco sized bottle of it and be good for half a year or more. For a medication that is very commonly prescribed for elderly cats.

        I wholeheartedly agree. We could get prescribed years of medication, because the expiration date on medication isn’t even true.
