WASHINGTON, May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Today, more than 130 healthcare groups applauded the introduction of the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act (S. 1362, H.R. 2759), legislation that will ensure that Medicare beneficiaries in medically underserved areas have access to pharmacists primary care services.
In a letter sent to the bill s original sponsors Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), and Rep. David McKinley (R-WV) the healthcare groups, including rural health advocates, consumer groups, and pharmacy organizations, call for the removal of restrictions on seniors access to care.
Republicans have been fighting for the legislature to have more say in the governor’s executive orders.
Gov. Lamont’s office said it will be relaying which orders they believe are important and need to be extended, like this one.
“They know their pharmacist by first name. You walk in, they know them by name and the pharmacists know them. So if that’s a matter of getting people through the door to get vaccinated, that’s the reason why we felt it important that local pharmacists play a strong role in our vaccine roll out,” said Lamont’s chief of staff Paul Mounds Jr.
