The Department of Veterans Affairs has been forced to find alternative ways to ship mail-order prescriptions for patients whose medication is delivered by the United States Postal Service, including FedEx and UPS, CNN has learned.
The VA acknowledged the change in an email to a veterans group called Disabled Vets of America after it raised the issue on behalf of patients who had reported significant delays in receiving medication from USPS in recent weeks amid a nationwide slowdown, according to a copy of the correspondence reviewed by CNN.The whole phony rational for all of this "cost cutting" and "efficient improvement" at the Post Office is supposed to increase efficiency and reduce costs, but paying premiums for commercial delivery services isn't a cost reduction. And, reducing capacity and capabilities in the US postal system doesn't make it more efficient.
It's not just Trump doing this. It's the whole Republican Party that his standing aside while he does the damage.
