I own a small laser art business in Tempe and I am a registered voter. My business is operated on a very tight budget because I produce very low volume. Any additional expenses and red tape will make the administration of my business more expensive and difficult. Please vote "NO" on this initiative.
Sincerely,
Michael Schneider
Michael supported: Reject Tempe Business License InitiativeI'm a pharmacist with over 17 years of retail pharmacy experience. I've seen first hand how detrimental and dangerous PBMs are to patient care. They can deny life-saving patient care based on numbers, even if it is a medication that the patient has been on for years; they can and will change their formularies to serve themselves instead of the patient.
Additionally, forcing patients to use in network pharmacies can really limit patient's options in pharmacies. Preferred retail chains like CVS and Walgreens are also set to close hundreds of stores nationwide which could further limit patient's accessibility to reliable pharmacy care; particularly if they live in rural areas. This can lead to further delays in treatment and access to life saving medications.
Patient's should always have a choice when it comes to their care; small independent pharmacies are able to provide personalized patient care and treat patients like people, not numbers like PBMs do.
Casey supported: Oppose Maryland Senate Bill SB306 to Support Injured WorkersI have been a Maryland resident my entire life. For the past 19 years, I have been a dedicated and hardworking employee of a public safety company in Maryland.
Unfortunately, I faced a significant challenge when I was injured on the job. Despite this setback, I am still dedicated and determined to do my job. Currently, I am utilizing the services of RescueMeds an Independent Pharmacy, to obtain my doctor’s prescribed prescription medications. I would like to say, “Say No to Senate Bill 306”. While using RescueMeds, I have a choice of what day I would like for my prescription medications to be delivered, and it doesn’t take a week to get it. This is a very beneficial service for me, being I am in the office Monday through Thursday and being home on Friday allows me the opportunity to have my package delivered and me signing for it. I find it disturbing that Legislation wants to take away small Independent Pharmacies. Not only is it important to have any day for delivery, but it also cuts down on the cost of workers' compensation prescription medications.
I am asking the Maryland Senate, DON’T do away with our Independent Pharmacies. Senate Bill 306 will cost more for our counties and taxpayers, and what about the individuals who are on Medicare and Medicaid, they can’t afford to pay more for prescription drugs.
Sharon supported: Oppose Maryland Senate Bill SB306 to Support Injured WorkersSave the Postal system. My father in law was a postal worker for over 30 years and he loved his job. Postal system is very important to all of us. We need our mail delivered and sent to!
Karen supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansUSPS must remain an independent agency. This non-partisan agency belongs to all of us; not just to a President or political party. Dismantling the USPS with the primary purpose of preventing voting by mail is an attack on the Constitution, veterans, democracy and racial equality. USPS has always enjoyed high approval ratings amongst the American public and they must receive the funding that they need. A large percentage of USPS are made up of veterans, women and minorities. Senior citizens, people with disabilities, rural businesses and communities are entirely dependent on USPS which remains the only mail service that delivers to every address in the US. USPS cannot and should not be viewed as a casualty of “financial efficiencies.” It is a public service and it deserves proper funding to fully operate for ALL American people.
Kavita supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansI need my mail. My rural delivery has been diminished over the past decade and it's cost money, time and emotions to our local small communities. Please keep our mail delivery and ourvote by mail options available and efficient and trustworthy.
Dorothy supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansMy one-woman business uses usps to sell inexpensive, handmade goods. If USPS goes away, shipping costs will dwarf the cost of my items and I’ll have to shut down my source of income that I’ve spent 10 years developing into something substantial.
Anna supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansNot only is the postal service a promise to the American people, but I prefer to send letters to my friends and family. I handwrite letters to my loved ones across the world who I care about. Large companies cannot reach all corners of the earth. The US Postal Service is how I wrote to my penpals when I was younger. i still end packages and cards, and the postal service is vital to the integrity of the United States government. My first love and I wrote letters from across the country for five years in high school and college.
Geoffrey supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansI will repeat what others have said because it's a fact. There are MANY who rely on the postal service for communication necessity. It's not just about sending and receiving mail, it's about connection. My parents love receiving cards in the mail. The also love sending them. They and I also rely on the postal service to receive monthly prescriptions. Sure it could be privatized but that would defeat the original purpose of the system. It was NEVER supposed to be for profit. The government shouldn't be a for profit organization. It SHOULD take care of we the people with the money WE GIVE to run it. It's not their money, it's ours.
Geri supported: Protect the U.S. Postal Service: A Vital Public Service for All AmericansI have worked with many retired Postal Service employees. All of them are amazing individuals who take so much pride in their work. They've all spoken about the United States Postal Service as a calling. What's being done is degrading to these individuals, and their families; and it weakens the communities they proudly served.
