VA secretary pushes back on USPS prescription delays but some slowdowns persist.

Internal emails show some slowdowns are ongoing.

Let me tell a personal story in the replies. https://connectingvets.radio.com/articles/usps-delays-continue-for-some-veterans-va-pharmacies

I'm receiving treatment for PTSD and I've been working with the VA on finding the right medication.

The 1st medication I took led to multiple negative side effects so my doctor told me to stop taking them immediately and prescribed a new one.

It took two weeks to be delivered.

I had a reaction to the second medication almost immediately, again my doctor told me to stop taking it and prescribed me a new one.

This third medication took two weeks to arrive.

I was on medication for PTSD for 3 days out of the entire month because of mail delays.

These medications were not getting filled across the country.

They were filled in my own county.

I'm not making this up.

Here are the three prescriptions and my best friend @morethanmySLE was communicating with me through the entire month while it happened.
