Missouri board to investigate work conditions at pharmacies
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS (AP) A state board is looking into allegations that pharmacists have been overworked, pressured to meet corporate metrics and haven t had time to fill prescriptions safely.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Missouri Board of Pharmacy is appointing a task force this month to examine working conditions inside pharmacies across the state after hundreds of pharmacists raised concerns. I ve heard pharmacists say that they don t drink anything before they go on shift because they re afraid they may not get a bathroom break, said Ron Fitzwater, CEO of the Missouri Pharmacy Association.

Missouri lawmakers are at fault.
The General Assembly adjourned earlier this month without renewing a tax that funds vast swaths of Medicaid in Missouri. Nursing homes are heavily reliant on Medicaid patients, who have spent down their savings and now depend on the program to pay for their care.
